Dallas at Philadelphia

Philadelphia will be without Joel Embiid for a while as he ponders knee surgery, but the 76ers still are just slight underdogs against Dallas, which is having troubles of its own losing six of its past eight games. The Mavericks come off a 129-117 loss to Milwaukee after getting blown out by 34 points at Minnesota and their defensive deficiencies are apparent as the Timberwolves shot 56 percent and the Bucks shot 57 percent against Dallas. This is the first meeting of the season and Philadelphia has won and covered four of the past six meetings. The 76ers had a rough five-game road trip before coming home on Saturday and losing to Brooklyn, but they'll be more rested after having another day off. The 76ers are 11-4 ATS with one day of rest and 17-7-1 ATS following a double-digit home loss. Dallas is 2-8 ATS its past 10 games. Take the 76ers as a Max Play.
