Prediction published on 1/1/26, 5:14 PM  by Lou Aguila in NBA Picks

Fresh off an overtime win over the Memphis Grizzlies, the Philadelphia 76ers look to establish a new win streak when they visit the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center.

Best Pick: The Mavs at +120 Moneyline.

Payout: Bet $100 to win $220

Current Form:

The Sixers busted their three-game losing streak after gutting out an overtime win over the Grizzlies on the road, 139-136, on December 30. Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey scored 34 points apiece, and rookie VJ Edgecombe posted 25 points. Edgecombe also knocked down the tiebreaking trey with 2.2 seconds left on the clock. The Sixers sit in fourth place in the brutally competitive Atlantic Division with a 17-14 record.

The Mavericks suffered their third straight loss and sixth of their last eight games after absorbing a close defeat at the hands of the Portland Trail Blazers, 122-125, on December 29. Max Christie led the way with 25 points, and Brandon Williams added 22 points off the bench. The Mavs actually shot better than the Blazers from the field, making 51 percent of their shots to Portland’s 47 percent shooting. However, with Anthony Davis sitting out with a right adductor injury, the Mavs conceded 17 offensive rebounds to the Blazers, which resulted in a handful of second-chance points.
