00:00There's another big spot in Philadelphia, maybe for the Houston Rockets, not for the

00:06Philadelphia 76ers.

00:07You look at that opening number at the Fandles Sportsbook in New Jersey, had minus 6.5 towards

00:12the Rockets.

00:13You see the graphic on TV.

00:14It's at 5, but the current line here at the Fandles Sportsbook back up to 5.5 in the total,

00:18which opened up at 212, now boosted all the way up to 219.

00:23As you see that graphic at 215.5, so people are expecting points in Philadelphia.

00:27We look at the anticipated starting lineups between these two teams, Van Vliet, Green,

00:31Brooks, Smith, and Shingun, but for the Philadelphia 76ers, Maxi McCain, Ubrai Martin, and Yabusele.

00:38No anticipation, it looks like, for Joel Enid to play, and obviously still, Paul George

00:41is going to be out for some time, getting that bone bruise.

00:44What gives with the total?

00:46Absolutely on a surge right now, Dubsy.

00:48Yeah, it really is, and that number started 6.5, now sits at 5.5.

00:54It's tough to entertain the 76ers, even being at home in this kind of spot, grabbing points.

01:01I just don't see a world in which they get it done.

01:03What is working in their favor?

01:05Obviously, second road game on the bounce here for the Rockets, that OT thriller against

01:10Minnesota, maybe that took a little juice out of the legs, so what's got for that to

01:14come into effect late, but I'll tell you what, that total, 203.5, it opened up, now sitting

01:20at 219.

01:22So it couldn't be low enough or high enough, I should say, for the betters.

01:26Absolutely steaming that thing up.

01:27This feels like it's a bit of a leave alone game for me, Donnie, at least prior to tip-off.

01:32I'd look to play this one live.

01:33I'd love to see the Rockets behind early, and that's when I jump in to back and when

01:37we're getting a slightly more favorable price.
