76ers Betting Outlook
It’s been tough for the Philadelphia 76ers without their MVP. The 76ers have lost four of their last six games with wins over Cleveland without Donovan Mitchell and Charlotte without Lamelo Ball.
While the Mavericks have seen their players weakened, this does not present a pleasant situation for the 76ers on Sunday. The 76ers are going to have to rely heavily on Tyrese Maxey to keep up with the Mavericks’ 5-out offense, as Tobias Harris and other role players have been mediocre as of late.
Dallas has the pieces inside to overwhelm, I’d be nervous to support Philly in any way other than a Maxey prop.

Mavericks Betting Outlook
It’s important when capping to focus on the game’s recent performance, but also eliminate outliers. In this case, the Mavericks have lost three of their last four games, but that doesn’t paint the full picture.
A loss came on a half-court buzzer by Max Strus. Another loss came against the best team in the NBA, and the third came against the team’s former coach Rick Carlisle and the Pacers, who know the Mavericks’ player tendencies.
The Mavericks are still playing good basketball and I expect them to return to form in the scoring department here. They present a matchup nightmare for Philly, containing multiple interior options and great perimeter players.
I like the Mavericks to win handily on the road.
76ers vs. Mavericks Prediction
Pick: Mavericks -7.5 (-120)
The market has evolved in waves. First, the Mavericks added a few players to the injury report and the line moved slightly toward the 76ers.
Then some actions took the market back to where it started – an indicator that questionable labels are more likely than anything else. I expect Luka to suit up despite the ankle and nose pain he’s dealing with.
Since this number is available at -7.5 and -8 is a key number, I would play this for 1.5 units. At 8, I would reduce the bet to one unit. At 8.5, ignore it completely!
