76ers vs. Mavericks Odds & Betting Predictions - March 16, 2025

Dallas is shorthanded, but Philly is in worse shape. No Embiid, no Maxey, no Paul George—Sixers are running out of bodies. They’ve lost 17 of their last 20, ranking 26th in FG% (45.4%) and 23rd in 3P% (34.3%). Their offense collapses late, averaging just 26.5 PPG in the 4th. Dallas' defense should hold strong. Brandon Williams stepped up with 25 points last game, and PJ Washington (13.8 PPG) is capable of carrying the scoring load. Philly’s defense has fallen apart, allowing 121.4 PPG over the last five. Mavericks rebound better (45.8 RPG vs. 45.0 RPG) and should control the paint. Dallas is 19-15 at home, while Philly is just 10-22 on the road. Sixers are also 3-10 ATS in their last 13 away games and playing their second game in two days. Expect them to take care of business.

Little bounce back spot for Grimes after a 2/8 performance against Toronto in a tank-off. Dallas has somehow done a decent job of limiting 3 point frequency since the start of the month; however, their opponents are shooting a blistering 39.8% from beyond the arc over this stretch. The defense has fallen off with all of the injuries they’re dealing with. Grimes now gets a great spot where he’s been thriving with the Sixers and they are absolutely ravaged by injuries as well. I’ll grab over 2.5 3s just purely based on the volume he’s continued to see without Maxey and Paul George plus they won’t even have Lonnie Walker, Kelly Oubre, etc today.
