NBA Betting Picks for Today: Clippers at 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers have been up and down all season. At one point, they were near the top of the Eastern Conference standings, then they got derailed by various injuries throughout the season (most notably the injury to Joel Embiid). It’s really tough to know what you’re getting from the 76ers from one game to the next. Philadelphia currently sits 5th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 33-21 and are 5-5 in their last 10 games. In normal matchup against the Clippers, the 76ers would be a massive underdog. However, playing at home the 76ers are getting only 2 points.
Consider this: no team has had bigger home/road splits in the NBA this season than the 76ers. On the road, the 76ers have gone 9-19 straight up (for reference the Cavs are 7-18 on the road) and 7-19-2 ATS compared to a league-leading 24-2 straight up and 14-10-2 ATS at home and 3-0 ATS as a home dog. This trend continued last year where the 76ers were 31-10 at home compared to 20-21 on the road. At the time of this writing, they have no injuries on their report and will come into this game healthier than they’ve been all season.
The Clippers currently sit 3rd in the Western Conference with a record of 37-16 and are 7-3 in their last 10. The Clippers have been an incredibly up and down team as well, which is likely due to the constant injuries and load management of nearly every star player on their team. The Clippers currently have only one player sitting out Tuesday night at the time of this writing (Patrick Beverley). The Clippers will have Wednesday off, so it is unlikely that they sit another player. The Clippers have been an average team on the road this season going 15-11 straight up and 13-13 ATS including 10-8 as a home favorite.
NBA Betting Picks: Philadelphia 76ers +2
Even though the Clippers have been a fantastic team this season and are coming into the game very healthy, I’m betting on the Sixers here. Philadelphia has been an entirely different team at home this season and the Clippers are traveling across the country for today’s game. The 76ers are at full health for one of the few times this season. Though their record hasn’t been great over the last 10 games, it’s worth noting that they have had some tough matchups in that span, including road trips to the Heat, Bucks, and Celtics and home game against the Lakers. They are on the third game of a four-game homestand while the Clippers are on the third game of four-game road trip. Everything in this game sets up nicely for the 76ers. Even though the public is betting the Clippers at a 75%+ clip the line has only moved slightly.
