Expert picks & predictions for Monday’s Trail Blazers vs. 76ers game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans toward the Blazers +3 at the 76ers:

"While Portland went to OT and lost to Cleveland yesterday, they were one of the hotter teams in the NBA over a four-to-five-game span. Albeit, the wins came against bad competition, that's exactly what the 76ers are. Philly is coming off a win to break a nine-game losing streak, which makes this a good bounce-back spot for the Blazers. I was surprised the 76ers are -3 point favorites and think that's too much recency bias for Philly. I will likely take the trap line of +3 for Portland."
