Dallas at Philadelphia

Looking at pure wins and losses, Dallas would be the obvious choice here and the public thinks so as well as over 70% are on the Mavs for this one. I'm in the other camp. The Sixers have been a product of some real poor luck this season and the record doesn't show that. They have lost two games in overtime, three by a single point, two games by two points, another by just three and still four others by four or five points. That is 12 games that they were right there in, but they got nothing in the win column. They have beaten Denver, Boston and Portland on the road, so the capabilities are there. I will go with them in this spot.
