Will Embiid lead the Sixers to another win?

The Philadelphia 76ers host the San Antonio Spurs on 08/01/2022 and the home side cannot rely on a home bonus: Only seven of the 15 home games at the Wells Fargo Center have been won.

A modest haul that is only undercut by three teams in the Eastern Conference home standings. For the East-West duel, the betting base today once again presents an NBA tip!

Philadelphia 76ers – Statistics & current form

The Sixers have been on the rise lately: Winning their past five league games.

Hedaoch Doc Rivers can rely above all on Joel Embiid at the moment. The centre from the Cameroon scored at least 31 points in the last five games and only missed a double-double in points and rebounds in two of the last seven games.

Embiid is still well represented in the race for the MVP title. Tyrese Maxey is also having a strong season at the one. The point guard has the third-best scoring output and best record in assists within the Atlantic Division squad.

However, the sophomore, who is getting much more playing time compared to his debut season last year, had to miss the last time due to a quarantine measure, which is why Embiid is even more important in the forward play at the moment.

San Antonio Spurs – Statistics & current form

The San Antonio Spurs have been off the pace lately. Due to the loss of Dejounte Murray, the performance of head coach Gregg Popovich’s team dropped. For this reason, the troops from the Southwest Division also travel with only one win from the last five games.

The offensive performances in particular were manageable without the point guard. But now Murray is back on board and in his comeback last Thursday he led the Spurs to another win in Boston.

The 25-year-old only just missed a triple-double in the encounter. In this ranking, only absolute top players like the reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, James Harden and Russell Westbrook are ahead of him.

Philadelphia 76ers – San Antonio Spurs Tip

The Texans have not won against Philly in more than three years. Instead, they have suffered five defeats. However, there was often not much missing from a win, as three of those defeats ended with only a two-point difference.

For the duel between the Philadelphia 76ers and San Antonio Spurs, the forecast includes more than 35.5 points, rebounds and assists by Dejounte Murray on the side of the visitors.

The point guard has been available again since the last game day and immediately made the difference in the win against Boston with a number of 22 points, twelve assists and nine boards. Once again, his extremely versatile style of play became clear.

The 29-year-old is unquestionably having the best season of his career and has developed into a clear leader for the Spurs.

The tip is underpinned by his even better performances in the visiting games. In the away games, for example, his scores are higher in all three areas than in the home games. On average, Murray delivered no less than 36.3 points, rebounds and assists in these matches. By comparison, his output in home games is 34.1.

At Bet365, odds of 1.86 can be used for the prediction of the showdown between Philadelphia and San Antonio.
