Trail Blazers vs 76ers Prediction

The 76ers are coming into this game as a 6 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. They have been playing really well at home this season. They are coming off of a big win over the Hawks at home and their players are getting more involved in their offense. The Trail Blazers have had Lillard start the season with some very poor shooting and that could be the deciding factor here against a good team like the 76ers. The best bet to place in this game is on the 76ers to cover the spread here.

Notable Quotes

 
"I shot the ball well tonight. I had a stretch in the third quarter of the last game. I've just got to keep going in that direction. To me, I think when I come out of it, I feel like it's going to be loud. Usually when I shoot the ball poorly over a stretch, it's loud when I come out of it." - Damian Lillard on his poor shooting improving as the season goes on.
 
 
"When we go out like we did last season, this was a good test for us early this season to know where we stand. There was obviously more to this game than just a regular-season game." - Tobias Harris on their win over the Hawks.
