The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers have been having a great season with a 29-16 record overall and they have even been decent in their road games with a 12-9 road record. The Kings have also been really good this season with a 25-18 record overall and have played better on their home court with a 14-9 home record. The 76ers have won 4 games in a row entering this game while the Kings have won 5 games in a row entering this one, but the Kings are also playing this game on a back-to-back while the 76ers will be rested and that is going to give a big advantage to the 76ers who are very healthy right now. The Kings are a bit banged up at the moment and as well as they have been playing in their games lately, they have been beating up on a lot of bad teams while the 76ers are one of the better teams in the East. The 76ers are in a much better position to win this game and they will stay hot in this game as they have been over the last week. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game.

“I think from the beginning it was easy. When you’ve got two guys with high basketball IQs, you can figure it out everything easy. So it’s all about just playing off of each other. We’ve been doing a wonderful job of doing that.” - Joel Embiid after their win against the Trail Blazers in their game on Thursday.

“It was a good win by our guys. We've been saying all year we feel like we are a deep team. Having that next man up mentality has been huge for us.” - Mike Brown after his team’s win against the Lakers in their game on Wednesday.
