Philadelphia 76ers vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

Prediction published on 23/12/2024, 02:22  by Matthew Newman | Modified on 23/12/2024 at 02:28 in NBA Predictions

The 9-17 Philadelphia 76ers will welcome the 15-13 San Antonio Spurs to the Wells Fargo Center early on Tuesday morning. 12th in the Eastern Conference takes on 8th in the Western Conference ahead of our prediction on the match. 

The 76ers have finally found some life, 6-3 in their last nine having been 3-14 in their first 17. Half of those six wins have come over the 7-21 Charlotte Hornets admittedly. It is still a big step forward on their early season form, however.

They will be heading on a six-game road trip after this contest which adds importance to their attempt to get the win here. Defensively they have done some strong work, 10th in the league but scoring has them 29th of the 30 teams. 

Road games have been an issue for the Spurs, just 4-6 compared to 11-7 at home but they are turning things around, 3-1 in their last four away from Texas. Those have all come at teams worse off than them, as the 76ers are.

This is the first of four on the road for them with a visit to New York over Christmas next up. They are middle of the pack on both sides of the ball.
