The Philadelphia 76ers travel to the Moda Center to take on the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night. Here’s a 76ers vs Trail Blazers Prediction.

Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers have cooled off from their six-game win streak as they are now hoping to snap a two-game skid after falling short to the Nuggets in a 111-105 road loss on Saturday. Paul Reed led the team with 30 points, 13 rebounds and two steals, Kelly Oubre Jr added 25 points while Marcus Morris and Patrick Beverley scored 17 points each. As a team, the 76ers shot 53 percent from the field and six of 22 from the 3-point line as they were neck and neck with the Nuggets in a close contest, until they went cold and managed just 17 points in the fourth quarter to allow the Nuggets to slip away in the end.

76ers vs Trail Blazers Prediction

The 76ers could be shorthanded here with Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris all listed as questionable, while the Trail Blazers are still without Shaedon Sharpe and Moses Brown. This is definitely a game where you want to check the lineups before tipoff, but even with the injury cloud, I still like the 76ers to get the win and cover over this slumping Trail Blazers squad playing on zero days rest.
