The 76ers are coming into this game as an 8 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. These two teams have been trending in opposite directions recently, the Clippers losing 3 of their last 4 games and the 76ers winning 3 of their last 4. They are also both in very different places in the NBA as the 76ers have a very good record and a great chance to finish with a high seed in the East while the Clippers are hovering around an even record and will be lucky if they even make the playoffs this season. The 76ers have been heating up and they are a very tough team to slow down once they get going. Embiid is coming off of a night where he scored 50 points and he will likely keep up his great effort in this game as well. The best bet to place in this game is on the 76ers to cover the spread here as they are too good once they get heated up.

"I haven't had that much fun until before I came into the league. But unfortunately we lost the game." - Ivica Zubac after their loss against the Nuggets on Wednesday night.

 

 

"That was easy, quick, efficient and determined. He's a little bit of (Hakeem) Olajuwon and a little bit of (Kevin) Garnett. It's a heck of a combination if you can get it. But the difference is he can go out to the 3-point line, which sets him apart. He's Joel Embiid; he's not any of those guys. He's his own guy." - Doc Rivers on Joel Embiid after their win against the Magic on Wednesday night.
