76ers at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 111, 76ers 108

Moneyline

The TRAIL BLAZERS (+310) are worth a roll of the dice for a chance to multiply your initial wager by more than 3 times.

The 76ers (-400) would cost you 4 times your potential return, and that's way too much risk for not enough reward. Plus, Philadelphia is way too banged up. Embiid, Harris and Maxey were sidelined last time out in Denver, and it showed. There is no guarantee who will play in this one, with each carrying a questionable tag.

Portland faces the back-to-back situation, but that's when it has been at its best. The Blazers are 5-3 SU in 8 games when playing on no rest this season.

Against the spread

The TRAIL BLAZERS +9.5 (-115) are 5-1 ATS in the past 6 games when playing on no rest, and Portland didn't have to travel after playing Sunday's game also on its home court.

As an underdog of 8 or more points, Portland is 4-1 ATS in the past 5 games. Meanwhile, the 76ers -9.5 (-105) are 1-3 ATS in the past 4 outings, and 0-2 ATS in the past 2 outings as a favorite of 9 or more points. Philly is 1-3-1 ATS in the past 5 trips to PDX, too.

Over/Under

The UNDER 224.5 (-110) is worth a look in the Rose City.

Philadelphia has cashed the Under in 2 of the past 4 games, while Portland has ended up going low in 3 of the past 4 outings, and 8 of the past 11 contests. In addition, the Blazers have ended up seeing the total go low in 6 of 8 games this season when playing on no rest.
