When it comes to NBA picks, there's no one better.
76ers rebound with victory over Hornets
The Philadelphia 76ers are on the road after playing just one home game. The team hasn't been able to win games consistently lately, mainly due to Joel Embiid's injury. Philadelphia lost 117-99 on the road to the Celtics on Thursday, but won 121-114 at home against the Hornets on Friday, making them 12-point favorites. The team is in 5th place in the conference, with only half way to 4th place. The 76ers have covered the spread in just one of his last five games.
Tyrese Maxey has shown sharpness, scoring at least 24 points in five consecutive games. The 23-year-old point guard scored 33 points on Friday and averaged 26.1 PPG on the season. He scored 15 points in his only matchup against the Mavs. Buddy Hield, recently acquired in a deal with the Pacers, shot 45.5 percent or less in four of his last five games. The veteran shooting guard has played a lot of minutes and is averaging 12.6 PPG on the year. Tobias Harris has also struggled of late, shooting below 45% in four of his past five games. The veteran power forward is averaging 17.5 PPG on 50% shooting.

The 76ers are 3-2 in their last five road games and have covered three times in that span. That includes a big win against the Cavaliers. Philadelphia averages 117.1 points per season, ranking 13th. They have allowed 114 points or less in three of their last five games, ranking 15th in points allowed with an average of 113.7 points.
Mavericks return home
The Dallas Mavericks are back home after a shaky four-game road trip. They only had one win and three losses on this trip, but despite the tough road, they won seven of their past 10 games thanks to the driving force of their offense. The Mavericks suffered a 138-110 road loss to the Celtics on Friday night, lost to the Cavs, and beat the Raptors, leaving them with 8.5 points. The Mavericks are aiming for first place. They are just 1.5 games out of first place in the district. They have covered the spread in three of their last five games.
Luka Doncic continues to be an overwhelming force. He reached 30 points in five consecutive games, including 45 points against the Cavaliers. The 24-year-old star is having a great season, leading the NBA with an average of 34.5 ppg on 50% field goal percentage. He had just 19 points against the 76ers last month. Kyrie Irving is also a threat, scoring at least 24 points in four of his last five games. The 31-year-old point guard scored 19 points on Friday and is averaging 25.7 PPG and 5.1 RPG. Daniel Gafford has scored in double figures in only one of his last five games. The 25-year-old center is averaging 10.6 PPG.

Insider status:
evaluation:
The Philadelphia 76ers have been unreliable on the road, winning only three of their last eight games. The Dallas Mavericks have had a great run at home, winning four of their last five home games. Dallas has also won seven of its past 10 games.
Additionally, the 76ers haven't been the same team since Embiid's injury. Doncic, on the other hand, has an overwhelming record and is at the top of the NBA scoring rankings. Philadelphia has struggled offensively, scoring 104 points or less in four of their last five games, while Dallas is averaging 119.8 points in their last five games. The Mavs defeated the 76ers by 16 points last month, and I expect another dominant victory.
Prediction: Dallas Mavericks -9.5

evaluation:
The over is a strong play. The Mavericks' pace will likely cause the 76ers to score more points than usual. They have the eighth-best pace in the NBA. The Mavericks will waste at least 121 points and give up points in four straight games.
Additionally, Dallas has been gaining points, especially at home, averaging 123 points in its last five home games. The 76ers aren't sharp on the road. They have given up at least 117 points in four of their last five road games. The 76ers are 4-1 in their last five games against Southwestern opponents.
Prediction: End
