The Philadelphia 76ers (34-25, 15-12 away) venture to Texas to face the Dallas Mavericks (34-26, 18-13 at home). After a tough 1-3 road trip, the Mavericks look to right the ship as they are equidistant in the loss column from the 5th-ranked Phoenix Suns and 10th-ranked Los Angeles Lakers. For all the good vibes generated by their moves toward the trade deadline, Dallas now faces the Sixers in need of a win in the worst possible way. Let’s analyze the props and odds to find something worth adding a little cheddar to.

Gamer accessories
- PJ Washington over 13.5 points (-115)
- Derek Lively on 1.5 steals + blocks (-190)
It took a few games — and probably some encouragement from his teammates — for Washington to confidently take open shots. The better version of this list features Washington averaging closer to 16-18 per game rather than some of the lackluster totals we saw after its 14-point debut. This bet focuses on the positive side of PJW’s offense which continues to emerge. Take back 13.5 points.
Lively is averaging two blocks per game at home this season. With Embiid out, the Sixers have Paul Reed, and that’s it. Lively can afford to be aggressive about helping the weak side. The juice is high on this accessory for good reason. Take 1.5 S+B again.
Game of the day
- Luka Doncic over 19.5 rebounds and assists
Although Doncic remains one of the team’s best rebounders, the level of assists he is currently producing – especially against porous defenses. 41 dimes in his last three games is staggering considering he leads the league in scoring. Look for #77 to get his teammates involved in this one and count on better shooting efforts from his supporting cast than we saw in Boston.
