Sixers beat Orlando last meeting, in ORL, w/o iverson. Now they play in Philly, where the magic won in January. That game went to OT with the magic squeaking out a 4point W, don't see this happening again. In that last game, Francis had 15 assists, he's no longer there. Most importantly, in that road win for the magic (road wins are very rare for this team, 6-29 on road) Orlando shot 59% for the game! Simply put, they had a hot night. And they needed each basket to offset Iverson/Webber combining for 70pts. I see the once again healthy sixers covering in this one as they try to climb back to .500 after their skid with Iverson hurt.
In fact, Orlando won that game in Philly on January 26th, and they haven't won a road game since! I have to believe the Sixers feel at least some embarassment during preparation of this game knowing that this team has lost 16 in a row on the road, with their last road win being in their place.
Philly -6 and teased to -2
