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

tailing sharp

Harden and the Clippers face off against his old team who will be without Joel Embiid. I’m grabbing Harden to excel as a scoring threat and also as a facilitator. The Sixers have managed a decent defense this season but given how both Maxey and McCain are a bit undersized, I think they will struggle a bit against Harden in this spot where they do not have Joel Embiid behind them cleaning up the defense. Additionally, because Embiid is out I expect the Harden/Zubac Pick and Roll to be utilized often - if Philly decides to double Zu then Harden will be able to score himself. The other notable injury is Norman Powell. Without Powell, Harden scores 11 more points per 100 possessions and his Usage skyrockets by over 8%, per PBP Stats. Although the assists come down, I think this particular matchup aligns well for them regardless. I’ll grab Harden to exceed 32.5 PA.
