The 76ers have won seven out of their last 10 games and have finally found a rhythm that suits them. Their opponents, on the other hand, have been abysmal on offense and hold the fourth-lowest field goal percentage in the league. In front of a solid defense like Philadephia’s the Blazers will undoubtedly struggle to produce anything meaningful. We predict that Joel Embiid and Co will win this game with ease.
