Philadelphia 76ers Moneyline (-450) vs. Orlando Magic

The 76ers should extend the Magic’s misery at home in a relatively close affair. Philadelphia is a little banged up, particularly in the backcourt, but the 76ers have been playing well recently. The 76ers have won four straight games and five of six, with four victories coming on the road. Joel Embiid has been the catalyst and is playing the best basketball of the season as he has recorded four double doubles and a triple-double in the past six games. Overall, Embiid averages 33 points and 11.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists while shooting 55% from the field during this stretch. Seth Curry has also been playing well, and Furkan Korkmaz turned in his best performance of the season against Houston on Monday with a season-high 24 points on 8-for-14 shooting along with 11 rebounds.

Conversely, Orlando has lost six straight, including each of their last four games at home. However, the Magic have been competitive in four of their past six outings. COVID and injuries have ravaged the Magic organization over the last month though Mo Bamba has returned and Cole Anthony is questionable Wendell Carter Jr. (illness) may also be available. However, Mo Wagner (illness) has already been ruled out. Moreover, Orlando is just 2-13 at home this year and 3-20 against teams with a .500+ record. OddsShopper gives Philadelphia a 79% chance of winning straight up.

Harrison Barnes Over 14.5 Points

Barnes has shot the ball relatively well over the last seven games, especially from long-distance. The key will be for him to get to the foul line. Barnes averages a career-high 5.2 free throw attempts a game; however, he is just 12-for-7 from the charity stripe over the last seven games.

Barnes is having his most productive and efficient season as a member of the Kings. Much of that has to do with how well he is playing at home. Barnes averages 17 points a game while composing a shooting slash line of .451/.431/.491 at the Golden 1 Center. He is projected for 17.25 points against Atlanta tonight. OddsShopper gives the over a 70% chance of hitting and an expected ROI of 39%.
