Philadelphia 76ers vs Dallas Mavericks
10:00am, Wells Fargo Center
The Mavs had their doors blown off by the Cavs on Monday in their first game since the shock Luka Doncic trade. The Sixers are notably a weaker team on both sides of the ball, but this could still be a monster game in the making for Tyrese Maxey, who just put up 34 points in a loss to the Celtics on Tuesday. With Derrick Lively and Dwight Powell injured, Dallas is lacking some serious size, which could create some open lanes for Maxey to find the rim.
Tip: Back the Sixers to Cover the Line (-1.5 Points)
Brooklyn Nets vs Houston Rockets
10:30am, Barclays Center
Another interesting spot for the Rockets as they prepare for the second game of a back-to-back in New York. Houston stormed the Garden last night in a hard-fought game against the Knicks, and although the Nets aren’t quite the same challenge, they could put up a decent fight here coming off a two-day break. Trends-wise, Brooklyn has gone 11-8 against the spread versus non-conference opponents, while th Rockets own a losing record when playing on no rest. On the back of an emotional game last night against the Knicks, this could be a low spot for the Rockets – much like it was only a week ago when the Nets beat them 110-98 in Houston.
Tip: Back the Nets to Cover the Line (+9 Points)
