NBA odds, picks, and predictions for the Philadelphia 76ers at Los Angeles Clippers on March 24. NBA betting best bet and free pick analysis.
The 76ers sorely miss Joel Embiid in the post, and the Clippers' Ivica Zubac looks poised to take advantage of his absence vs. Philly's backup big men on Sunday afternoon, per our NBA betting picks.
Embiid was the anchor of Philly’s defense, averaging 1.8 blocks per game and 8.7 defensive rebounds. Without him, the 76ers have struggled to fill the gap and have seen their rebounding slip. Tobias Harris is the next-leading rebounder behind the seven-time All-Star with just 6.3 per game. Without Embiid, the 76ers have slipped to 20th in the NBA in rebounds per game and 26th in defensive rebounds . As a result, they’re allowing opponents to bring in the seventh-most rebounds per game and the fourth-most offensive rebounds .
The hole left by Embiid goes beyond issues defending centers, with Maxey having to take on a bigger role this season to help keep the Philadelphia offense firing. As a result, he’s averaging a career-high 25.8 points per game and has scored at least 27 in four of his last five games. Despite L.A. being one of the top contenders in the NBA, they’re just 34-35 ATS this season and 3-7 over the last 10 games. Philadelphia, on the other hand, has a respectable 37-33 record ATS and has managed to cover in three of its last four games.
