Why The 76ers Could Cover The Spread/Win

The 76ers come into this showdown with a 32-27 record against the spread. Also, the 76ers are 8-11 against the spread when they have been the underdog. The Sixers are also 15-12 against the spread as the road team. Yet, they are just 6-6 against the spread when they have been road underdogs. The 76ers are also 11-8 against the spread against the Western Conference.

Joel Embiid remains out for the foreseeable future. That means that Maxey must handle the duties of being the best player. Therefore, he walks into this battle, averaging 25.9 points per game. Harris has been another weapon. Ultimately, he averages 17.2 points per game while shooting 49.3 percent from the hardwood. Lowry has made an impact since joining the Sixers. So far, he is averaging 5.7 points per game while shooting 58 percent from the field, including 40 percent from the triples, through three games. Hield is averaging 16.6 points per game while shooting 45.5 percent through eight games with the 76ers.

The 76ers will cover the spread if they can play fast and get early buckets. Then, they must stop Doncic.

Why The Mavericks Could Cover The Spread/Win

The Mavericks enter this battle with a 32-28 mark against the spread. Likewise, they are 21-13 against the spread as the favorites. The Mavs are also 14-17 against the spread as the home team. Yet, the Mavs are also 9-19 against the spread as the home favorite. The Mavericks are also 10-10 against the spread against the Eastern Conference.

Doncic is the best scorer in the NBA, averaging 34.4 points per game while shooting 49.4 percent from the floor. Amazingly, he continues to shoot well from every angle of the court. Irving struggled in his last game. Now, he hopes to come back and shoot better. Irving averages 25.9 points per game while shooting 49.5 percent from the hardwood, including 42.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Washington has done well over eight games with the Mavs, averaging 10.6 points per game while shooting 44.8 percent from the floor. Meanwhile, Hardaway remains excellent, averaging 16.8 points per game while shooting 41.2 percent from the field.

The Mavericks will cover the spread if Irving can shoot well and help Doncic dominate. Then, the defense must force Maxey and Harris to take bad shots.

Final 76ers-Mavericks Prediction & Pick

If Embiid were playing, the 76ers might have been a favorite in this one and may have pulled off the win on the road. However, injuries happen, and the Sixers have been affected. What was once a season where they might've finished second in the Eastern Conference may be different throughout the rest of the season. This means the Mavs have a good chance to capitalize on that. Overall, they already beat them in Philadelphia. It would be noteworthy to expect them to handle their business at home. Look for the Mavericks to come out of the gate and handle the 76ers at home.
