The San Antonio Spurs and Philadelphia 76ers meet Sunday in NBA action at the Wells Fargo Center.

The San Antonio Spurs look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The San Antonio Spurs are averaging 110.6 points on 45.6 percent shooting and allowing 110.1 points on 46.3 percent shooting. DeMar DeRozan is averaging 20.3 points and 4.7 rebounds while Dejounte Murray is averaging 15.6 points and 6.9 rebounds. Keldon Johnson is the third double-digit scorer and Patty Mills is dishing 2.6 assists. The San Antonio Spurs are shooting 36.5 percent from beyond the arc and 79 percent from the free throw line. The San Antonio Spurs are allowing 37.7 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 44.6 rebounds per game.

The Philadelphia 76ers look to stay hot after winning six of their last seven games. The Philadelphia 76ers are averaging 115.8 points on 48.1 percent shooting and allowing 110.7 points on 45.2 percent shooting. Joel Embiid is averaging 29.9 points and 11.5 rebounds while Tobias Harris is averaging 20.2 points and 3.4 assists. Ben Simmons is the third double-digit scorer and Shake Milton is dishing 3.1 assists. The Philadelphia 76ers are shooting 36.6 percent from beyond the arc and 78.8 percent from the free throw line. The Philadelphia 76ers are allowing 36.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 45.8 rebounds per game.

The Spurs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. The 76ers are 33-16-2 ATS in their last 51 home games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The under is 5-2 in Spurs last 7 overall. The over is 4-1 in 76ers last 5 overall. The over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Philadelphia. The under is 12-5 in the last 17 meetings.

These are two banged up basketball teams, so it’s hard to find an edge here. However, the Philadelphia 76ers have been on a role lately, winning their last five games by an average of 13.8 points while shooting 52.1 percent from the field. The 76ers also smoked the Bulls a few days ago without Embiid or Simmons. The San Antonio Spurs compete no matter who is on the court, but it’s hard to trust them without DeRozan, their leading scorer. I’ll lay the bucket with the 76ers.
