Air Force Falcons vs Miami (OH) RedHawks NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/2/24

<p>The NBA betting action continues Monday, November 22, 2021, with 10 games around the Association, including the interconference showdown at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California, so we bring you the best 76ers vs. Kings betting pick along with the latest odds update.</p>



<p>No line has been set for this contest by <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a> at the time this preview was written, but with Sacramento losing seven of their last eight games, you can depend upon Philadelphia to be the presumptive favorite. Philadelphia will still be without Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. Philadelphia has won the last four meetings between these teams, including a 129-105 victory in March 2021.</p>



<h2>76ers Struggling on the Road</h2>



<p>It has been a long road trip for the Philadelphia 76ers (9-8) who are 1-3 through the first four games of this six-game road trip. Philadelphia has now dropped six of their last seven games after opening the season 8-2. It has been a tough stretch for the 76ers, as they are 1-5-1 ATS in the last seven.</p>



<p>Philly fell by seven in Portland on Saturday, as the team shot 50.6% from the field, including 90.5% from the free-throw line. A five-point first quarter advantage for the Trail Blazers was too much for Philadelphia to overcome, as Portland hit 50% of their shots and all 23 of their free throws.</p>



<p>Philadelphia is 14<sup>th</sup> in points per game at 108.1 and this is an exceptional shooting team. They are third in field-goal percentage (47.0%), second in three-point shooting (37.2%) and third in free-throw shooting (82.5%). The problem is that Philadelphia is 30<sup>th</sup> in rebounds per game (41.7), as they are not taking enough shots.</p>



<h2>Sacramento Struggling to Get on Track</h2>



<p>Philadelphia is not the only team struggling, as Sacramento (6-11) has lost seven of their last eight games. While the team suffered a number of close losses during the early part of the slump, they have lost three straight games, each by more than 10 points. Sacramento is 1-7 ATS in their last eight games.</p>



<p>The Kings trailed by just four points entering the fourth quarter against Utah on Saturday, but a 14-point edge for the Jazz blew this game open as the Kings fell, 123-105. Sacramento shot a respectable 45.1% from the field in the loss, but struggled at the line, hitting just 13 of 21 shots (61.9%). They were also only 10-31 from three-point range, hitting 32.3%. Utah outrebounded Sacramento, 52-35.</p>



<p>The Kings are averaging 109.1 points per game, 10<sup>th</sup> overall. This is an average shooting team, 16<sup>th</sup> in field-goal percentage (45.0%) and 20<sup>th</sup> in three-point percentage at 33.8%. This is not a very good rebounding team either, 24<sup>th</sup> in the NBA at 44.4%.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Philadelphia:</strong></p>



<ul><li>6-1 ATS in their last seven games on the road against the team with a winning percentage at home of less than 40%.</li><li>10-2 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with a winning percentage below 40%.</li></ul>



<p><strong>Sacramento:</strong></p>



<ul><li>0-5 ATS in their last five games when playing on one day’s rest.</li><li>0-4 ATS in their last four games at home.</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-philadelphia-76ers-vs-denver-nuggets-pick">Philadelphia 76ers vs. Denver Nuggets Pick</h2>



<p>Even without Simmons and Embiid, Philadelphia is still the better team. They need to push to get more shots in games, but they have dominated the Kings of late and their ability to hit shots far outpaces Sacramento.</p>



<p>Watch for the combination of Tobias Harris and Andre Drummond to have a big game. The two each recorded 28 points in the loss to Portland, and I would not be surprised to see these two combined to score 60 in this game.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Philadelphia 76ers</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>No total has been set, but Sacramento has been blown out of late, failing to reach 110 points in four of their last five games. That includes being held under 100 in two of their last three losses.</p>



<p>The Philadelphia offense has not been great either. They have been held to 113 points or fewer in seven straight games. The defense is struggling as well, giving up 118 points or more in the last six games. That should help to keep this game closer.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under</strong></p>

<p>The Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies start their four-game series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on Thursday, August 26, 2021, so here’s the best D-backs vs. Phillies betting pick for the opening clash along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<p>The Diamondbacks swept the Phillies in a three-game set at Chase Field last week. They are 14-4 in the previous 18 games against Philadelphia, but the D-backs will have a tall task to extend their dominance, as the Phillies have a huge motive to come out on top.</p>



<h2 id="h-arizona-dropped-four-of-its-last-five-games"><strong>Arizona dropped four of its last five games&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>Since they swept the Phillies last Thursday, the Arizona Diamondbacks visited Colorado and Pittsburgh and earned just one win in the process (their Wednesday’s clash at the Pirates has been excluded from the preview). The D-backs are still the worst team in the National League. They fell to 42-85 on the season following a 4-2 defeat at Pittsburgh this past Tuesday.</p>



<p>Over the last 15 days of action, the Diamondbacks have gone 7-6 with a decent 3.99 ERA. And I said decent because the D-backs have struggled mightily on the mound all season. They own the second-highest ERA in baseball (5.21), allowing 9.5 hits and 1.5 home runs per nine innings.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/Dbacks/status/1430342288576634883
</div></figure>



<p>Zac Gallen will get the nod Thursday, and he’s 1-7 with a 4.59 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 16 starts (80.1 frames) this season. The 26-year-old right-hander is coming off his best game in 2021, as he threw seven scoreless innings at Coors Field this past Friday. However, Gallen has a disappointing 5.61 ERA over his previous six outings.</p>



<h2><strong>The Phillies desperately need to get back to winning ways</strong></h2>



<p>The Philadelphia Phillies are slowly but surely losing the pace in the NL East title race. They were 63-32 following Tuesday’s defeat to Tampa Bay, trailing four and a half games behind the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves.</p>



<p>The Phillies have dropped nine of their previous 13 games. During that stretch, they’ve compiled a 4.10 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and a .228 batting average against. On the other side of the ball, the Phillies have been a complete disaster, posting the worst batting line in the majors by far (.187/.278/.329).</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/Phillies/status/1430262987324116996
</div></figure>



<p>Zach Eflin will toe the rubber Thursday against Arizona, and the 27-year-old righty is 4-7 with a 4.17 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 18 starts (105.2 innings) this term. Eflin has a 3.32 ERA over his previous four starts, but last time out, he’s surrendered six runs (five earned) on six hits and two walks across just 3.2 innings of work against the hapless Marlins’ offense.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Arizona:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 in the last five games overall</li><li>1-8 in the last nine games on the road</li><li>1-12 in Zac Gallen’s last 12 starts&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Philadelphia:</strong></p>



<ul><li>N/A</li></ul>



<h2>Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies Pick</h2>



<p>This is probably the last chance for the Phillies, who cannot allow any more surprises in order to somehow sneak into the playoffs. Their offense has been horrible as of late, and the Phillies should get things going sooner rather than later, considering the number of strong weapons on their lineup.</p>



<p>I’ve mentioned the Diamondbacks’ recent improvement on the pitching side of things, but their bullpen has still registered a disappointing 5.36 ERA and 5.58 FIP over the last couple of weeks.</p>





<p><strong>    </strong></p>



<h2> Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies Total Pick<strong>:</strong></h2>



<p>The Diamondbacks have the sixth-best OPS in the majors over the previous 15 days of action (.806). They also have just 12 dingers in the last 13 games overall, but the Diamondbacks have slugged a whopping 34 doubles in that span.</p>



<p>While I’m expecting the Phillies to finally hit the ball well in this favorable matchup, the Diamondbacks shouldn’t have any problems scoring a few runs. The Phillies bullpen has recorded a 5.36 ERA and 4.50 FIP in the last two weeks.&nbsp;</p>
