Betting insights
- The Sixers were 2-7 without Embiid and now Tyrese Maxey is also injured. At home, against the Knicks, there couldn’t be a better time for the 2023 MVP to return to the lineup. New York is 2-4 on the road this year but went 3-1 against Philadelphia last season (2-0 on the road).
- The Raptors (2-9) and Bucks (2-8) occupy the basement of the Eastern Conference. The problem for Milwaukee is Toronto is trying to tank while it still wants to win a championship. The Bucks are 19-27 in the regular season since Doc Rivers was hired.
- Phoenix is just 3-7 ATS despite its 8-2 record. Only four of its wins have come by four-plus points and Kevin Durant is out tonight. That said, Utah ranks last in net rating and is 4-5 ATS.
- Golden State has the second-best ATS record (8-2) in basketball and hosts a Dallas team which acquired one of its franchise legends, Klay Thompson, over the offseason. The Mavericks are 35-19-2 ATS on the road since the start of last season but have lost three of their last four.
