I’m currently on just one side for Wednesday and that’s one of the college tournament hookups. Today’s free play is in the NBA, but note this is NOT on my personal service card as of now. Consider it an added opinion.
759 76ERS at 760 THUNDER
Take: 76ERS +11
I really wonder how interested the Thunder will be in this game. They really tossed in a clunker on Monday against Golden State, and that was a game they were absolutely interested in. Now they face a nonentity and I suspect it’s going to show with a somewhat unfocused effort.
So the main deal tonight might well be getting Russell Westbrook his nightly triple double. That should not be a problem as it’s not like Philly is real adept at stopping anything. For that matter, neither are the Thunder and I would guess we will see a pretty high scoring game this evening.
An interesting trend has developed with the 76ers. Basically, no one gets fired up to face this team, and for pretty obvious reasons. That’s actually led to the Sixers turning into major money makers against the better teams in the NBA. The rationale is simple enough. The better teams do just enough to win but that doesn’t translate to covering what are usually big spreads.
Consequently, Philly is covering like crazy against winning teams. Go through their season ledger and see how many this team has now covered in succession when matched up a +.500 team. You might be kind of shocked when you see how lengthy this streak is. I’ll look for the trend to be maintained tonight with Philadelphia on the receiving end of a double digit line. 76ers plus the points.
