With just 2 wins in 16 visits to Dallas, the pressure is on the Philadelphia 76ers to perform well tonight. They’re coming off a big win in Miami, while the Mavs have struggled since introducing Kyrie Irving into the lineup. Tonight’s game tips-off at 7.30 PM on TNT, and I’ve prepared a Same Game Parlay which you can find below.

Philadelphia 76ers 1 – 10 Win Margin (+210)
The Sixers haven’t had the best of times playing at American Airlines Center, winning just twice in their last 16 visits. However, with the way the Mavs have been playing lately, this might be their best chance in a long time to squeak out a win there. In their last 6 games, the Mavs have just 1 victory and that was against the terrible San Antonio Spurs. The pairing of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic is still fresh and they’re figuring things out on the fly. Philly bounced back in a big way after that loss against Miami with a road win in South Beach by 23 points, despite not having Joel Embiid at their disposal.
The big man is questionable to play tonight due to a foot injury, but after last night’s performance, I’m feeling good about Philly’s chances here. Dallas is one of the most unreliable teams in the NBA when it comes to covering the spread with a 22-38-3 ATS record so far. Philly has had the edge in 3 of the last 4 meetings, until the Mavs figure things out I’m not trusting them. Take Philly to win outright as underdogs on the road.

Kyrie Irving to Score 30+ Points (+230)
Kyrie hasn’t played up to his standards over the last 3 games as he’s scored just 16, 21 and 23 points. Despite that, he’s still 11th in the NBA in scoring this season, and two of his best games of the year came in meetings against the 76ers where he’s averaging 26.5 points on better than 57% shooting from the field. Philly just doesn’t have the guards to matchup with him on defense, James Harden simply doesn’t care on that end of the floor and I think Kyrie will be extra motivated to do well against him after things went sideways during their time together in Brooklyn. Another thing Kyrie can take advantage of is Philadelphia’s lack of three-point defense. They’re allowing 37.3% of shots made from the perimeter in their last 3 games, with Irving connecting on 37.7% of threes in his last 7 outings, I fully expect him to drain a few shots here. Irving goes for 30, but Philly spoils his big night with a close win.
