On Saturday night, the Philadelphia 76ers are on the road taking on the Los Angeles Clippers. The Sixers enter play at 32-13, which is the best record in the Eastern Conference. The Clippers find themselves in third place in the Western Conference at 30-16 this season.

Let’s get into our Sixers-Clippers betting preview, including odds, boosts, and picks.

Sixers vs. Clippers Betting Pick (March 27, 2021)

There was plenty of concern about the Philadelphia 76ers’ viability as a contender for the Eastern Conference’s top seed when they lost franchise center Joel Embiid to a bone bruise in his knee sustained after a an odd landing following a dunk against the Washington Wizards.  Philadelphia has responded incredibly well, going 6-1 in the seven games since Embiid went down.

Philadelphia is in the midst of a four-game winning streak and will look to improve to 4-0 on this six-game road trip following a 109-101 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center. As of Saturday morning, the Sixers’ injury report included just Joel Embiid. Philadelphia having an otherwise healthy squad is critical to their chances of winning on the road against a talented Clippers team.


The Los Angeles Clippers are also in the midst of a four-game winning streak, including back-to-back wins over the San Antonio Spurs on the road by scores of 134-101 and 98-85. In Los Angeles’ last game, head coach Tyronn Lue had to go with an eight-man rotation due to injury. The health forecast doesn’t look all that much different as of Saturday morning, with Patrick Beverley and Serge Ibaka both listed as out, while Kawhi Leonard and Marcus Morris Sr. are questionable with right foot soreness and a right calf contusion, respectively.

Will a hot Clippers team defend home court or will the equally hot Sixers improve to 4-0 on this road trip?

Bets We Like With a Clippers Win

FiveThirtyEight gives the Clippers a 69% chance of winning with a -5 point line. The oddsmakers are a bit less bullish, with the Sixers’ implied win probability based on the moneyline at a slightly lower 61%.

Clippers to Win and Each Team to Score Over 99.5 Points (-115, FOX Bet)

The oddsmakers and projection model agree that the Los Angeles Clippers will win this game, despite the potential absence of superstar Kawhi Leonard and big man Marcus Morris Sr. This is likely due in part to the absence of Philadelphia’s franchise center Joel Embiid.

Los Angeles has shredded inferior competition as of late, blowing out three of their last four opponents by double digits:

  • 3/20/21 v. CHA: 125-98 (+27)
  • 3/22/21 v. ATL: 119-110 (+9)
  • 3/24/21 @ SAS: 134-101 (+33)
  • 3/25/21 @SAS: 98-85 (+13)

Taking each team to score over 99.5 points is a near surefire portion of this same-game parlay, with the Sixers having done so in 33 of their last 34 games. The Clippers have put up at least 100 points in three of their last four, as well as in each of their last five home games.

Sixers to Win and Under 221.5 Points (+340, DraftKings Sportsbook)

Although Philadelphia will once again be without MVP candidate Joel Embiid, the Sixers have done well for themselves in games played since losing their big man. Philadelphia was a late blown lead away against the Milwaukee Bucks from going 7-0 over that stretch.

It’s also worth noting that while both teams enter play on a four-game winning streak, with each of Philadelphia’s last three victories having come on the road.

As for taking the under, Philadelphia has seen the under hit in seven of their last eight road games, including each of their last four. The Sixers have also seen the under hit in six of their last seven games overall. Additionally, the Clippers are coming off a game against the Spurs in which the under hit, while three of LA’s last three games have gone under the total points line.

Sixers to Win and Each Team to Score over 99.5 Points (+180, FOX Bet)

If you’re looking to place a Sixers moneyline bet and like the trends laid out above concerning the likelihood of each team putting up at least 100 points, you can get the best of both worlds at +180 odds with FOX Bet.

 

Bets We Like Independent of Outcome

Seth Curry Over 12.5 Points (-120, BetMGM)

Sharpshooter Seth Curry missed a game against the Sacramento Kings and the first two games of this six-game road trip due to injury. He made his presence felt in Thursday night’s victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, going 7-13 from the field, including 4-8 from behind the arc to the tune of 19 points. He’s factored into four games since Joel Embiid went down, scoring at least 19 points in three of them, with a 10-point performance against the Milwaukee Bucks standing out as the lone exception.

The Sixers will need him to continue his hot shooting to have a chance to leave Staples Center with another victory.

 

Ben Simmons Over 6.5 Assists (+110, BetMGM)

Sixers point guard Ben Simmons is averaging 7.7 assists per game this season, which is the 10th-most in the NBA. He’s coming off a 12 assist performance against the Los Angeles Lakers, a game which was also played at Staples Center. Although Simmons failed to cross the 6.5 assist mark in his prior two games against the Warriors and Knicks, he had successfully done so in his previous three games.

Simmons has also had plenty of success dropping dimes against the Clippers, having dished out at least eight assists in each of his last four games against the Clippers.

Sixers vs. Clippers Prediction

Pick: Kawhi Leonard’s questionable status ahead of this game, as well as that of Marcus Morris Sr., are enough to give pause. Considering that the Sixers have won each of their first three games on this road trip without Joel Embiid, take the Sixers to Win and Both Teams to Score Over 99.5 Points.
