Philadelphia 76ers vs Dallas Mavericks prediction
The Dallas Mavericks have been a little shaky over the last week or so, and the defensive effort hasn’t helped much. With that said, the 76ers are still without Embiid, Melton and Covington, and they could also be without Oubre Jr. and Martin. That’s a lot of lost production and a big ask of the 76ers to be competitive on the road against a talented Mavs squad. Even with the Mavericks defense being rough in spots, the offense is good enough to blow most teams out of the gym. Do the 76ers have enough offensive horses to keep up? Not sure. Give me the Mavs in a double-digit home win.
