The Sixers’ game Friday at Houston will mark the eighth straight game they will be without Joel Embiid since the All-Star break.
We spent much of those seven games worrying about -- and betting on -- where their points were going to come from, and we finally figured it out: Nowhere!
In those seven games -- four of which the Sixers have won -- the Under has come in six times, including five in a row.
And it goes back even beyond Embiid’s absence. The O/U is 5-15 in the Sixers’ last 20 games. Sounds like a good old-fashioned Friday double-down to me.
Pick: Sixers-Rockets Under 231.5 ($10/-113)
