The Trail Blazers have won 3 of their last 4 games and are on a 2 game winning streak coming into this game. They won their last game against the Los Angeles Clippers 111-92 in a game that they were trailing early on in but quickly gathered themselves and took the lead by halftime, extending it even more in the second half.

The 76ers are coming into this game with a 4-2 record overall and they are 2-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. The 76ers have won 3 of their last 4 games and are on a 2 game winning streak coming into this one. They won their last game against the Atlanta Hawks 122-94 in a game that they dominated from start to finish holding down the lead after every single quarter of that game. Tobias Harris led the team in points in that game with 22 while Joel Embiid was next on the team with 19 points. The ball was spread around nicely in that game as a lot of the starters were heavily involved in the offense in that game. Harris also led the team in assists in that game with 4 and also led the team in rebounds with 11 as he was clearly their best player in that game. Their offense is averaging 112 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 103.7 PPG against them. The 76ers opened their last game as a 3.5 point favorite with that line closing around the same number while the point total opened at 218.5 and closed around 217 points. The 76ers covered the spread in that game winning it by 28 points while the game just stayed under the total with 216 total points.

 

 

The 76ers are coming into this game as a 6 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. They have been playing really well at home this season. They are coming off of a big win over the Hawks at home and their players are getting more involved in their offense. The Trail Blazers have had Lillard start the season with some very poor shooting and that could be the deciding factor here against a good team like the 76ers. The best bet to place in this game is on the 76ers to cover the spread here.

"I shot the ball well tonight. I had a stretch in the third quarter of the last game. I've just got to keep going in that direction. To me, I think when I come out of it, I feel like it's going to be loud. Usually when I shoot the ball poorly over a stretch, it's loud when I come out of it." - Damian Lillard on his poor shooting improving as the season goes on.

 

 

"When we go out like we did last season, this was a good test for us early this season to know where we stand. There was obviously more to this game than just a regular-season game." - Tobias Harris on their win over the Hawks.
