Premium Pick

Philadelphia has covered the spread seven of the last nine meetings with Portland, which is playing a back-to-back after losing to Golden State, 115-105, last night despite Damian Lillard's 40 points. The 76ers come off a big win at Utah while shooting 50.0 percent in the 114-97 victory as Joel Embiid scored 23 points with 15 rebounds and five blocks, and the Sixers held the Jazz to 38 percent from the field on Thursday. The Trail Blazers have gone UNDER five of their last six games overall and 11 of their last 15 home games. Philly has stayed UNDER five of its last seven when playing with at least two days rest, and the 76ers are allowing opponents just a .444 shooting percentage on the season. The Sixers are 37-16-1 ATS their last 54 games versus Western Conference teams and the Blazers are 3-10 ATS their last 13 following a loss. Take the 76ers and the UNDER.
