Philadelphia 76ers -8.5 vs Utah Jazz
One factor handicap. The 76ers were down 49 points at the end of three quarters to San Antonio in their last game (at home). Only 13 other teams in the database have faced that kind of deficit entering the fourth; those teams are 9-4 ATS in their next game. Home favorites? 7-1 ATS.
There have been 799 games in the NBA since 1996 following a team having been down at least 30 in the previous game after only the 3rd quarter. Those teams are 52.2 ATS. Since 2021, the modern era, those teams are 54%, and when favored 55%, and 62% when favored by 3+.
It starts to tell a story.
When a team gets their ass kicked, and have a chance to kick some ass, they tend to take advantage of that opportunity.
