Premium Pick

The Philadelphia 76ers have had high-level lottery picks for three years running, and what they have to show for it is three years of fewer than 20 wins, and an 8-24 start to 2016. If you combine their wins over the last three plus years (55), they would not be a top playoff seed. They have won two games in a row just two times since the start of last season. That not only puts them in an ugly spot here, but they are also in an ugly historical spot. Minnesota is in the historical catbird seat, as NBA road favorites off a loss to a line of less than -11 and facing an opponent off a dog win are an incredible 93-39 ATS. Make the play on Minnesota.
