Philadelphia 76ers at Portland Trail Blazers

Watch: 10 p.m. ET, TNT

Odds: 76ers -5.5 || O/U 229.5

Pick: Two of the NBA’s top scorers will be on display at the Moda Center. Damian Lillard averages 29.4 points per game and MVP candidate Joel Embiid averages 29.1 and 11 rebounds. Philly has been shooting the lights out from the field and comes in with wins in eight of its last 10. We like the Sixers to keep rolling in a high-scoring affair so lay the reasonable number and take the over.

Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner, score and first goal-scorer of Maple Leafs-Canadiens. Toronto won 4-2 and Josh Anderson of Montreal scored first. We crown a rare double-winner! Subscriber Matt Jeske was on top of it, picking a Leafs 4-3 victory and Anderson. Very impressive, Matt!

Keep the picks coming!
