The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have looked great in their games this season with their 43-17 record overall which has them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have been a great road team too with their 21-11 road record this year. Meanwhile, the 76ers have looked good in their games this season with their 33-27 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They have looked good on their home court too with their 16-15 home record this season. The 76ers have looked good on their home court, but they haven't been great and have been a better road team this season. They are also dealing with some injuries to key players at the moment and they haven't looked great lately. They are 4-6 in their last 10 games and they are off another loss to the Celtics in their last one. The Spurs have been rolling lately though along with being one of the best teams in the NBA. They are 9-1 in their last 10 games and just had an 11 game win streak snapped in their last game. They are off an embarrassing loss to the Knicks in their last one, but they will be looking to bounce back after that bad game and they have the talent to take advantage of this banged up 76ers team that hasn't been their best at home this season. Look for the Spurs to bounce back in a big way here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.

“I think if you watched us even a little bit this year, the best version of us is fast, activity, space, pace, whether that’s ball movement, body movement or a combination of. And at that point through that stretch we were it felt like in quicksand a lot, both ways.” - Mitch Johnson after his team’s loss against the Knicks in their game on Sunday.

“It’s happened for him quite a bit this year. I think he’s handled it very well. There’s obviously some ups and downs at times throughout the season, but I think for the most part he’s done really well. It changes quite a bit, what happens out there on the floor. Sometimes it seems like it takes him a little bit both ways to kind of adjust, maybe a quarter or something like that, but he seems to usually come good in the end.” - Nick Nurse on Tyrese Maxey this season.
