- #528 PHILADELPHIA (-) over New York at 7:30 PM EST
Down 2-0, the 76ers will be sure to bring their "A-Game" when the Boys from the Big Apple visit. Philadelphia has played well in its own backyard this season inking a solid 26-16 SU and 24-17-1 ATS tally and head coach Nick Nurse and his crew will be ready to go in this critical spot.
Technically speaking, this is a solid spot for the home squad. In the City of Brotherly Love arriving without steam off two or more straight up losses, the Sixers hold a respectable 28-7 SU and 21-13-1 ATS record. If Coach Nurse and the boys are fighting a foe that owns a team won/loss percentage of .501 or better, this angle improves to an elite 14-3 SU and 13-3-1 ATS. Equally impressive, game three home favorites priced at -3 or more that hold an 0-2 SU record in any series own a lucrative 64-43-3 ATS tally including a reliable 54-34-3 ATS provided both squads are rolling with three days of rest or less.
This isn't the best wagering spot for New York either. When coming off a straight up victory and now fighting a foe that owns a team won/loss percentage of .545 or higher, the Knicks have struggled posting a weak 7-18 SU and ATS mark in their last 25 tries. Additionally, since 1993, NBA Playoff round one game three road dogs priced at +4 or more hold a rough 13-46 SU and 19-39-1 ATS tally including a feeble 3-17 SU and 5-15 ATS provided this is a division game.
The Sixers played well enough to win in the first two games of this series and lost them both. This time, Coach Nurse and his squad get it right. Take Philadelphia. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
