Philadelphia at Portland

The 76ers are 7-22 on the season and now they must face a 20-12 team that is rolling. Portland has posted four straight upset wins, beating Miami, Dallas, San Antonio and Denver. They have only suffered one ATS loss in their last ten games. So, this spread is simply too low. I believe the Blazers should be a double-digit favorite in this game. Yes, Portland is beat up. But that hasn't stopped them from taking on all comers. They've won 10 of their last 12 at home and Philly is just 3-12 on the road, allowing 103.3 points per game. Portland is 47-33 ATS since last season as a favorite. Over that span they are also 18-8 off a double-digit home win and 22-11 ATS after a game in which they scored 105+ points. Portland should roll here.
