The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a 7 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers have looked really good in their games this season with their 45-35 record overall which has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the East. They have looked good on their home court this year with their 23-16 home record and they have been really hot now since getting Joel Embiid back from injury, surging up the standings just 1 game out of a true playoff spot in the East. Meanwhile, the Magic have also looked really good in their games this season with their 46-34 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the East right now. They haven't looked nearly as good in their road games with their 18-22 road record though. They haven't looked great in their games lately either as they are 4-6 in their last 10 games and they have no momentum on their side with 2 losses in a row. The 76ers have been the much hotter team coming into this one with their 7-3 record in their last 10 games and they also have a ton of momentum on their side with 6 wins in a row now. They have been surging up the standings in the East with Embiid back and this is a really important game for them to make up ground since they are only 1 game behind the Magic and can still pass them in the standings. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game.

And we played against a really good team. That's how it's going to be when we get to the playoffs.” - Cole Anthony after their loss against the Bucks in their game on Wednesday.
