Portland at Philadelphia

The Philadelphia 76ers inept play over the last three years have gotten them significant players in the draft. But as we have seen, they need a lot more help than that, as their record is just 4-37 on the season. There is a bigger problem as it relates to their game against Portland tonight. Philadelphia has lost 29 of their 41 games by six points or more, which is close to 71%. This is actually down from the 51 they lost last year by six or more or 62% of the time. Portland isn't nearly as good as they were last year, but they are feeling pretty good right now as they have won three straight games. That ensures they will show up tonight as teams on winning streaks don't usually letdown. The Sixers have faced the brunt of that this year, as they are 0-8 SU against a team on a three game winning streak or longer, losing by 20 points per game! Play on Portland.
