How To Bet On Philadelphia 76ers

“Trust The Process.” 

That’s what the 76ers brass continually stressed when Philadelphia was in NBA purgatory from 2013-17, winning a whopping 75 games total during a four-season span. The deliberate tanking earned them a bevy of first-round picks, two of which resulted in Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, who are both arguably top-20 players today and still years away from their prime. 

The franchise seemingly has a new mantra — “the time is now.” No, the front office isn’t openly saying it this time around, but with an early-season trade for Jimmy Butler, that’s exactly what they’re signaling. Adding Butler now brings the roster up to three All-Stars, which trounces other Eastern Conference foes. 

The Butler move doesn’t come without risks. Despite his overwhelming talent, Butler has been run out of town by two teams in two seasons. His contract expires at season’s end, and there’s no guarantee he’ll want to stick around the “City of Brotherly Love.” 

While team chemistry is certainly anyone’s guess, there’s no denying Philadelphia has one of the most talented teams out East. This predicament makes them a must-bet team for the foreseeable future. 

So what do you need to know about the 76ers before adding them to your betting rotation? Well, you’re about to find out. This page is dotted with essential information like betting lines, standings, schedule, and tips. Let’s jump in below!

Take a gander at Philadelphia’s next opponent and the latest game odds below. If you want betting success, knowing the 76ers in and out is only half the battle, you’ll have to be well-studied about its opponent, too. In this scenario, you’ll know how both teams matchup against one another. Who has the edge on offense? Defense? Coaching? Answering these prevalent questions beforehand makes accurately picking games more doable.

The NBA season is a marathon that runs from October to April. Below is a look at the long-distance race. Use the complete schedule below to plot out your betting strategy. For instance, look for multiple-game homestands and road trips. In an 82-game calendar, momentum swings — both up and down — are inevitable. Consecutive games at home or away are good predictors of such changes. 

With LeBron James outside the Eastern Conference for the first time in his career, the eventual conference winner is no longer a foregone conclusion. 

It’s now a four-team race involving Boston, Toronto, Milwaukee, and yes, Philadelphia. Any of the four could realistically win the East, and that possibility makes earning home-court advantage throughout the playoffs even more critical. Monitor the grappling match for the first seed below. 

Even if you haven’t laid a future bet on the 76ers to win the East — which you should modestly, but more on that later — the standings give you a good idea of where the team’s mind frame is. Say it’s late in the season and Philly is just one game behind the first-place leader, you know they’ll be especially motivated.
