Portland is looking to snap a three-game losing streak, but the Trail Blazers are still favored in this matchup with Philadelphia, which has won two straight. There is still skepticism on whether the 76ers have finally turned the corner after years of losing. The Sixers beat Toronto 94-89 on Wednesday with Joel Embiid scoring 26 points with nine rebounds. The Blazers are attempting to bounce back from an off-shooting night in a loss to Charlotte as Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum were the only players scoring in double figures. Portland has covered five of its last seven games after a loss and the Sixers have won three straight just once this season. Play the Trail Blazers.
