Prediction

It is getting down to the nitty gritty now as we have come to the last month of the NBA season and both of these teams still have it all to play for in the West and the East…for different reasons.

The Sixers are sitting 3rd in the East right now, only 2 games back from the 2nd place Celtics and 4.5 games back from the top seeded Bucks.

The Sixers have it all to play for the last month and they are certainly taking advantage with their recent play. They are 7-3 in their last 10 games and have won 3 straight games.

If they can keep picking up crucial wins, the race at the top of the East is going to come down to the final game of the season. And that sense of urgency continues tonight.

For the Trail Blazers, that sense of urgency is less for seeding and more to simply make it in the dance.

The Blazers are currently 13th in the West and on the outside looking of the playoff picture, but only 1 game separates the Blazers and the 9th place Lakers.

Damian Lillard is doing everything in his power to will the Blazers to a play-in game, averaging 34 ppg, 7 rpg and 7 apg over the Blazers last 5 games.

If Dame can get going tonight and have another massive performance, things could get interesting in Philly.

And I think he does.

I feel confident in the Sixers to get the job done at home, but I love Lillard to be big tonight (more on him shortly) and keep the Blazers around and cover the spread.

Player Prop of the Game

Damian Lillard o32.5 Points (-125) bet365

I won’t have to sell you too hard on taking one of the best scorers in the league to hit his points prop tonight but I will do it anyway.

Lillard has 33+ points in 3 of his last 5 games and 8 of his last 11.

While he didn’t get over 30 in the first matchup with the Sixers this season, I expect a big night from Dame tonight as the Blazers are in a massive push towards the post-season.

Our friends at BetAlytics love Lillard tonight as well.

They have Lillard as an A grade using their awesome predictive data and project Dame to drop 40 points tonight.

And I agree.
