- 11 years ago
The 15-19 Philadelphia 76ers will be the road team as they take on the 26-9 San Antonio Spurs in an NBA pro basketball game on Saturday night. Tip time from San Antonio is scheduled for 8:30PM Eastern Time with national television coverage provided by the NBA League Pass Channel.
The betting odds from this NBA game have the home team San Antonio Spurs favored by -13 points with a total of 198 points. There has been no movement in the side or total since the odds opened up a few hours ago from this NBA game.
During the lockout shortened season a year ago the teams met once with the Spurs posting the 93-76 home win as a -3 point betting favorite. The game ended under 192 ½ points. Trend: Philadelphia 76ers are 1-3 ATS in their past four games.
Philadelphia is 6-11 on the road this season. They have lost two straight and four of their past five games. The 76ers are playing their eighth game of this lone eight game road trip. They are 2-5 in the seven games. The 76ers get pounded last night by Oklahoma City 109-85 as a +10 ½ point road underdog. The game ended under 196 ½ points. It was another poor shooting night by the 76ers as they hit on just 40.5% of their shots. Philadelphia scores just 93 points a game ranking 26th in the NBA. The two culprits holding back this team are inefficient guards in Jason Richardson and Nick Young who make just 40% of their shots. Philadelphia is again under the eight ball as they face a good offensive team in San Antonio but this time in a back to back spot.
The Spurs are 13-2 on their home court. They just concluded a mini two game road trip where they went 1-1. The Spurs had their eight game win streak snapped in a 100-83 road defeat to the New York Knicks on Thursday as a -1 point betting favorite. The game went under 208 points. It was a bad spot for the Spurs. It was a back to back situation and the team was playing their fourth game in five nights. Head coach Greg Popovich really scaled back the minutes played for his starters pretty much like we though he would. The Spurs are the number three ranked scoring offense in the league as they average 105 points a game and make 48% of their shots.
