NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) likes the home team to cover the number: Philadelphia 76ers +4.5 (-110)
“The Lakers are 4-1 on B2Bs this season. However, this is just their second east coast back-to-back. They played a tough game against the Hornets and now play the Sixers, who have won back-to-back games. The Sixers do enough to keep it close.”
