The Trail Blazers are coming into this game with an 8-8 record overall and they are 7-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak after another win in their last game.

The 76ers are coming into this game as a 6 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers were on a very bad streak when a few of their key players went out but Tobias Harris has since returned and they have been playing much better with him in the lineup. The Trail Blazers have been great at home this season but they have started to slip up a bit in their recent games and just escaped their game the other night against the Bulls with a win. The 76ers need to make up some ground after losing all of those games so there should be a collective effort from the team to win this game and play hard. The best bet to place in this game is on the 76ers to cover the spread here.
