The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers have looked good in their games this season with their 26-13 record overall which has them near the top of the East right now. They haven't looked great in their road games this season with their 10-7 road record, but that is still a solid road record in the league. They also have a lot of momentum on their side with 3 wins in a row now and they have looked a lot better since Embiid has come back to the lineup healthy. Meanwhile, the Magic have looked good in their games this season with their 22-19 record overall and they have looked a lot better in their home games too with their 13-5 home record. The Magic were near the top of the East at one point but they have been slipping down the standings lately as they haven't looked as good in their games lately. They have also been dealing with a lot of injuries as they have had many different players in and out of the lineup over the last month so consistency has been a big issue with this team. They have looked great in their home games all season but the 76ers have been starting to surge with Embiid back in the lineup and they will be looking to continue their win streak here since they do have the better team with more talent that is one of the best in the East. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game.
