The Sixers have one road loss since 11/21, when they had lost 6 straight away from home. Since then they have won 7 of 8 on the road, loosing only at Cleveland. They have taken advantage of lesser teams and are playing stout D on the road. Kings still out of sorts after firing their coach, just 7-12 at home and went 3-6 at home in December. Plus dealing with some injuries. Philly is quietly turning its season around and seem more loose and comfortable on the road. The stuff coming out of the Kings lockerroom ain't great. If they start slowly here this could get sideways.

Are we sure the right team is favored here? Don't look now but the 76ers are in the middle of the playoff pack in the East and have won 7 of 8 on the road, and that only loss was at mighty Cleveland. Kings still trying to make sense of why their coach was whacked. Kings are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 at home (they failed to cover by 5 points or more 9 times in that span) and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 overall. Keegan Murray is beat up. 76ers are a top 10 team on road in D net rating. I like the hotter team to keep this plenty close
