Mavericks vs. 76ers Game Info
Dallas Mavericks (15-15, 7-7 Away) at Philadelphia 76ers (21-11, 13-2 Home)
Date: Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021
Venue: Wells Fargo Center — Philadelphia, PA
Start Time: 7 p.m. EST
Coverage: TNT
Mavericks Overview
The Mavericks were one of the major disappointments over the first month and a half of the NBA betting season. Recently, Dallas seems to be finding its stride, winning six of their last seven games, including a win over Boston when Luka Doncic hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds. Doncic fell just 2 assists shy of a triple-double line in that game and continues to be the focal point of everything the Mavericks do offensively. Where the team has struggled this season is on the defensive end. Dallas enters tonight’s game ranked just 23rd in scoring defense, allowing an average of 113.6 points per game. For injuries, both Kristaps Porzingis and Maxi Kleber are questionable for tonight’s game.
76ers Overview
The big question surrounding the 76ers is can they sustain their success over the course of a full NBA betting season? With tonight’s game being in the home confines of the Wells Fargo Center, it’s certainly hard to bet against them. The Sixers are 13-2 straight up at home compared to just 8-9 on the road. This type of home-road split is almost as drastic as the one we saw from Philadelphia last season. With Joel Embiid playing at an MVP-caliber level, it’s no surprise that the 76ers continue to maintain their spot atop the Eastern Conference. Embiid’s season averages include 29.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.3 steals and blocks per game. Seth Curry is listed as day-to-day for Philadelphia after missing the last game with an ankle injury.

Mavericks vs. 76ers Prediction
The Mavericks will never be out of a game with Doncic at the controls, but it’s hard to bet against the 76ers in this spot. Statistically, Philadelphia has been the superior team this season. Add in the fact that they are nearly unbeatable playing at home, and I’d be leaning towards a play on the favorite when making NBA betting picks for this game.
