Wise Guy
(NBA) Orlando vs. Philadelphia,
Point Spread: -3.50 | -103.00 Orlando (Away)
Result: Win
NBA Game of the Year

The Sixers got off to their aberration start because Michael Carter-Williams was the steal of the draft and Evan Turner started to turn the corner on his disappointing career. Williams has hit the wall a bit and now Turner is gone. Philadelphia is the worst team in the NBA bar none.

Already 6-21 the last 27 home games against the spread, it will be some time before the oddsmakers catch up to them. Simply put, not only is Philly on a 11-game straight up losing streak, but they are also worse post trade deadline than the team that built up that streak.

Sit down for this. Five times in their last seven games the Sixers have failed to cover by at least 17 points. Four times in their last six they have lost outright by at least 20.

This fits into our famed listen to what the oddsmakers are telling you and go with it. Orlando has the worst straight up road record in the entire NBA. However, they are a road favorite. There is a reason. The Sixers team post-trade deadline is literally one of the worst ever. Now Orlando is in a very winnable road game. They roll.
