The Sixers are an under team without Embid….and they are on a back to back. I also rank both teams as underrated defensive units. Isolate the first half here. Under.

Even as Philly played to an "over" yesterday afternoon in the impressive 121-107 win against the Clips, the trend to note in Sixers games minus Joel Embiid has definitely been "under" (eight straight prior to facing the Clippers). Yet perhaps even more surprising is Sacto's current "under" run (three straight and seven of eight), as Mike brown has the Kings playing surprisingly good defense lately (just beneath 103 ppg allowed in last seven). Play Sixers-Kings "Under"

The Magic put the clamps on Malik Monk on Saturday, holding him scoreless on 0-for-11 shooting from the field. Throw that stat line out the window with the Magic being one of the best defensive teams in the league. Prior to that, Monk had scored at least 17 points in eight of his previous nine games. With Kevin Huerter (shoulder) being out and this game being played in Sacramento, this is a great spot for Monk to get back on track and reach this over.
