The fallout from Joel Embiid's leg injury has been pretty profound for the SIxers, as Embiid's absence is also being felt on the "totals" side where Philly has landed "under" eight in a row. No surprise there, especially when considering Philly has been held under 100 points on five different occasions across that span. A peripheral storyline also includes James Harden vs. another of his former employers, but more importantly, the Clippers generally play to the pace of their opposition. Play Sixers-Clippers "Under"

Refs are swallowing whistles and unders going crazy so numbers dropping. Good luck finding many LAC totals under 225, let alone 215. They've gone over last 4 lately between 213.5-216.5 (all went 218+). Since ASG the average LAC home game is 227 points. Avg PHI road game since ASG is 205. But Clippers letting even lesser offensive teams to barrage them and LAC needs to take this game seriously having lost 3 in a row at home and 7 of 10. And it's Harden vs PHI. I'll bet on points being scored. Clippers have been brutal at home and have allowed 110+ in 7 of last 8. there. PHI has trouble scoring but I project them getting to at least 105 here.
