Added Utah -6
Here's something I found on this game that I liked.
The Utah Jazz will be highly motivated for a victory after back-to-back losses to Toronto and Houston coming in. Now they get a little bit of a break here with the Philadelphia 76ers coming to town.
Sure, the 76ers are 5-1 SU & 6-0 ATS in their last six games overall, but that has them overvalued now. And the key here is that most of that success has come with a healthy Joel Embiid. Well, they won't have Embiid tonight.
Embiid will get the night off for rest due to doctor's orders, and they are already without two point guards in Markelle Fultz and Jerryd Bayless, leaving them very short-handed. The only game they played without Embiid this season resulted in a humbling 94-128 road loss in Toronto on October 21.
The 76ers will be overwhelmed in the paint tonight by Utah's duo of Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors now. Embiid was averaging team highs of 20.5 points and 10.1 rebounds. The Jazz are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. Utah is 7-2 ATS in its last nine home meetings with Philadelphia.
