Yesterday’s Results for Portland Trail Blazers vs Philadelphia 76ers

ASA NBA UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK! 18-6 (75%) RUN!

Analysis: ASA NBA play on Philadelphia 76ers +8.5 vs. Portland Trailblazers, 6pm ET - This line has been exaggerated with the injuries to the 76ers so we’ll grab the value with the home team. Should Portland really be laying this big of a number on the road against anyone other than the bottom four teams in the league? We don’t think so. Philadelphia barely beat the Nets last time out but they led by as many as 28-points in the game and just had a tough time closing the game out late. The Sixers last 5 wins have come against similar teams to the Blazers and their losses have come against some of the best teams in the league (Pistons, Cavs, Spurs, Celtics and a red-hot Hawks). Portland on the other hand is 5-5 SU in their last ten games but four of the wins were against Utah, Indiana, Memphis and Chicago. Granted, the 76ers are missing 4 of five starters in this one but the lineup they put on the floor of Edgecombe, Grimes, Edwards, Barlow and Bona are better than a team that would be +11.5 points on a neutral floor. Portland is 4-4 SU in their last eight road games with an average point differential of minus -4.1ppg. We’re happy to grab this generous number with the Sixers.
