76ers vs. Clippers Odds & Betting Predictions - March 24, 2024

#Tailing @JoeDellera

Harden faces off against the Philadelphia 76ers in his first game against them since he was traded to the Clippers. Harden seeking some level of revenge definitely should be considered in this spot as added motivation but the matchup is strong for him regardless. The 76ers will be without Kyle Lowry (rest) one of their better defensive options for the perimeter and without Embiid on the interior, it should make finishing at the rack easier for Harden. Additionally, Philadelphia has the second-worst expected allowed eFG% 56.4%, they are surrendering far too many looks at the rim and from 3. This aligns much more closely with Harden’s shot profile than the rest of the starting 5. Harden has exceeded 16.5 points in 50% of games this season while averaging 17.3 ppg. I expect a strong scoring performance from Harden today.
