Portland at Philadelphia

Philadelphia has now lost seven in a row and 13 of 15. No wonder AI wants out. Portland is nearly as bad having posted an 8-14 record (4-8 on the road). Philly's biggest problem is defense - or lack thereof. But, at home they actually play decent defense (99 ppg). Portland is playing their fifth game in a week (all on the road) and they won't have a lot of gas. Philadelphia is not motivated right now with the AI trade talk dominating the headlines. Look for a sloppy offensive performance on both ends of the court and a very low scoring game.
