Prop of the Day – 76ers vs. Blazers Double Result

Prop of the Day – 76ers vs. Blazers Double Result

The BetOnline Sportsbook offers a variety of props on almost every NBA game. The Blazers vs. 76ers tilt tonight has a couple of attractive prop bets. Portland is a great home team (28-6 SU) and the 76ers are mediocre away from home (15-19 SU), which is why the Blazers are currently -8 at the BetOnline Sportsbook. However, the line that I really like for tonight is the double result prop. For the double result, you pick the winner of the first half and the second half. Here’s a rundown of the current double result odds.

Analysis: All the trends line up for a 1st Sixers win and a 2nd half rebound by the Blazers, and the +550 NBA odds are a great price. The Blazers are an average first half team and an excellent second half team. Recently, they have been downright bad in the first half. Philly is just above average in the first half and just below average in the second. Also, Philly has an unusually high number of ties, especially in the first half. Look for these trends to continue; expect the 76ers to be competitive and probably ahead by a couple points at halftime before the Blazers storm back for an easy win in the second half.

Top Pick: 76ers/Blazers +550
Long Shot Pick: Tie/Blazers +2000
