Though many bettors like the Over for this entire game, it’s much more of a toss-upthan many might think. The 76ers have the third-best scoring defense in the NBAthis season, and they are allowing just 109.5 points per game at home. TheTrail Blazers have scored 111 or fewer points in five of their last six games.

Yet,though the game total is up in the air, the 76ers have been red-hot offensively,scoring over 120 points in three of their last five games. They won’t face muchof a challenge Friday against a Trail Blazers defense allowing 115.6 pointsper game this season.

Withno players listed on the 76ers’ injury report, they should beable to continue their offensive ways on their home court. There are only tworeal concerns: they just had two off nights, which could have cooled themoff, and the Trail Blazers need to keep this one close enough so the 76erskeep scoring. A few nights ago, we saw the Trail Blazers struggle to keep upwith the Celtics, who needed only 115 for a blowout win.

Wethink the Blazers will be able to keep this one close for long enough that the76ers will score in the mid-120s even if they don’t need to.

The 76ers opened as 8.5-point favorites, anddespite seeing 62% of betting support at the moment, the line has not moved atmost of the major sportsbooks. The only book offering a different line isFanDuel, at which the 76ers are favored by 9. We expect the other sportsbooks tofollow suit as the 76ers continue to garner support.

Thetotal opened at 231.5, and it has either stayed put or gone up slightly at eachof the major sportsbooks. The highest total at the moment is at PointsBet, which has the number set at 232.5.
