The Philadelphia 76ers (34-25, 15-12 on the road) will travel to Texas to take on the Dallas Mavericks (34-26, 18-13 at home). After a tough road trip with a 1-3 record, the Mavericks are looking to get back on track despite being tied in the loss column with the 5th place Phoenix Suns and 10th place Los Angeles Lakers. Despite the good vibes created by the trade deadline moves, Dallas will now face the Sixers, who need a win in the worst possible way. Let's take a look at props and odds to find out which ones are worth throwing in a little cheddar cheese for.

player props
- PJ Washington 13.5 points or more (-115)
- Derek Lively over 1.5 steals + blocks (-190)
It took a few games — and perhaps some encouragement from his teammates — for Washington to feel confident enough to take open shots. The best version of this roster features Washington averaging closer to 16-18 per game, rather than the lackluster totals seen after its 14-point debut. This bet is on the upside as PJW's offense continues to emerge. Score 13.5 points.
Lively is averaging two blocks per game at home this season. With Embiid out, the Sixers have Paul Reed, but that's about it at the bottom. Lively can afford to be aggressive with weakside help. There's a good reason why this prop is so appealing. 1.5 Inherit S+B.
today's play
- Luka Doncic exceeds 19.5 rebounds and assists
Doncic remains one of the best rebounders on the team, but the level of assists he's currently producing is especially noticeable against porous defenses. His 41 dimes over the last three games is impressive considering he leads the league in scoring. Expect #77 to get his teammates involved in this game and see a better shot-making effort from the supporting cast than we saw in Boston.
