Philadelphia at Orlando

Premium Pick

The 76ers are off a bad loss, but are 8-3 ATS following a double-digit loss at home. Philadelphia is also 5-0 ATS on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400, and they face a bad Orlando team. Orlando is a big favorite, but just 3-7 straight up at home. Orlando was never able to recover from a miserable first quarter Friday against Utah and ended up losing 101-94, its fifth defeat in six games. Orlando ranks 27th in the NBA in points scored, 30th in assists, and is 23rd defensively allowing 45.8% shooting by opponents. The Magic won this season's only meeting in a 91-89 game on November 5 as Tobias Harris sank a jumper at the buzzer. This will be close, too, so grab the big dog. Play Philadelphia.
