Thunder vs. 76ers Prediction
These two teams already faced off late last month. There, the 76ers came out victorious 115-96. The Philadelphia outfit have been on fire lately, with Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid dominantly leading the offensive charge. Their recent 147-116 thrashing of the Pistons highlighted the team's commendable skill on both ends of the court.
The Thunder, meanwhile, are a topsy turvy team with inconsistent defensive ability. While Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey will give the 76ers trouble, the team overall will likely crumble under the 76ers' offensive pressure. With several injuries on their roster as well, the Thunder could be in a rough game tonight.
Prediction: 76ers -9.5 (-110)
