It’s no secret the Philadelphia 76ers have struggled on the road this season, but they’re still one of the best at home. The Sixers look to get back in the win column after a disastrous road trip when they host the sizzling Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. Philadelphia lost the first two games by a single point on their four-game trek, then dropped the last two by double-digits to the Pacers and Rockets to fall to 7-12 away from home. They will take their 16-2 home record into Monday’s contest against a Thunder team that has won five in a row and nine of 10 overall after a 121-106 win at Cleveland on Saturday. The five wins in a row includes four on the road and they still have one more in Brooklyn on Tuesday before hosting the Rockets and Lakers. The Thunder are just 8-9 away from home, but have posted a strong 12-5 ATS record, while Philly is 9-7-2 against the spread at Wells Fargo Center. OKC has won nine of the last 10 meetings with the Sixers including a 127-119 overtime victory back on Nov. 15.
Point guard Dennis Schroder scored a team-high 22 points in Saturday’s win for an Oklahoma City team that is comfortably in the seventh spot in the Western Conference standings. Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 25.3 points over the last nine games after pouring in 20 points on 9-of-14 shooting at Cleveland. Center Steven Adams recorded 16 rounds Saturday and is now averaging 9.9 on the season to go along with 11.6 points. The Thunder allow an average of 107.1 points a game, but have held their opponents under that during their five game winning streak.
Al Horford continued his shooting woes on Friday with just seven points on 3-of-8 shooting and is 14-of-46 over the last five games. Ben Simmons logged 42 minutes and recorded a triple-double (29 points, 13 boards, 11 assists) – his first since Dec. 23 at Detroit. The 29 points were Simmons’ second highest total of the season and his 13 made field goals were a season-high. The Sixers are shooting just 43.5 percent from the field over their last five games, while allowing opponents to shoot 46.1 percent. Philadelphia will host Boston on Thursday before a two-game road trip.
Oklahoma City is playing too well right now to be getting seven points, even though the Sixers have been strong at home. The Thunder are also 7-3 ATS in their last 10 trips to Wells Fargo Center.
