San Antonio Spurs vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers should be big favorites at home, and a blowout win would surprise nobody. The 76ers are the better team, they’re 16-6 SU at home and they have the rest advantage. The Spurs played last night, they don’t defend, and they’re no stranger to blowout losses. With all that said, the Spurs have been more competitive lately, and they’ve covered 8 of their last 10 games. Also, we have to question just how motivated the 76ers are to lay the wood here. This feels like a win and get out situation, especially with the 76ers not playing again until Thursday. Lot of points. I’ll take them.
