The Pistons are red-hot right now after winning 8 straight. They’ve won both games in this home-stand and sit atop the East standings with 10 wins from 12. Their defence has been a real key factor, they allowed just 112 ppg, ranking them 2nd in the East for points allowed.

76ers Philadelphia 76ers

The 76ers got some revenge over the Celtics with a 102-100 result a few days ago. They now head on the road and have lost their last 2 away from home.

  • 1st Leg – Over 235.5 pts: First off, the trends are saying this should be a high scoring affair between two of the best teams in the East. When the 76ers hit the road, the Over has a 6-1 record so they like a high scoring game when they’re away from home. Another good trend – the 76ers are 12-3 against the Over as an underdog.

NBA Same Game Multi Tips

Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Rockets against the Trail Blazers.

  • 1st Leg – Rockets -3.5: First-up, the Rockets should be tough to beat in this matchup. In their last 8 games, Houston have covered a line of 3.5 points in 6 of 8. On their home court, the Rockets are 14-5 in their last 19 and they have a 10-5 ATS record as a betting favourite.
  • 2nd Leg – Over 237.5 pts: Both sides come off scoring 125+ pts so this setups as a high scoring one. Houston usually are involved in high scoring games too, the Over has a 7-1 record in their last 8. Portland have gone Over in 5 of their last 7 on the road and 4-1 at any venue.
