Spurs vs. 76ers Game Info
San Antonio Spurs (19-15, 9-5 Away) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (26-12, 16-3 Home)
Date: Sunday, March 14, 2021
Time: 6:30 p.m. EST
Venue: Wells Fargo Center — Philadelphia, Pa.
Coverage: NBATV
The Spurs will have a big vacancy in their lineup today, with DeMar DeRozan is out for personal reasons. It was also announced recently that the Spurs will keep LaMarcus Aldridge out and look to trade him. They are, however, coming off a big 27-point win over the Magic. Rudy Gay turned back the clock and led the Spurs in scoring off the bench, finishing with 19 points. It was an overall balanced attack for San Antonio, who were playing without both DeRozan and Aldridge.
The 76ers received a big blow last game, as Joel Embiid exited with a knee injury. The severity is still unknown, but he will miss today’s game. Ben Simmons has been out since the All-Star Break due to COVID protocols. However, he is probable to return to the lineup tonight. Philadelphia has been money at home this season, with only three losses. They are coming off yet another home win, with Embiid leading the team in scoring despite playing only 20 minutes.

Spurs vs. 76ers NBA Picks | Total
Much like the point spread, those making NBA betting picks for the total in tonight’s Spurs – 76ers game should be a bit selective. Those interested in betting the total over will find the best value at SugarHouse and DraftKings in the form of an over 223 (-112) ticket. On the contrary, those looking to bet the Spurs – 76ers total under should aim to do so at FanDuel, with a line of 224 (-112).
Spurs vs. 76ers Prediction
Assuming Simmons comes back, I like the 76ers in this game. The Sixers are 13-6 against the spread at home this season. Simmons, Tobias Harris and Dwight Howard should be able to do enough to get the win, and the spread is close enough currently to feel comfortable with that.
Prediction: 76ers -4
