PHILADELPHIA 76ERS +3 - The 76ers finally got the road monkey off their back on Tuesday, as their 83-75 victory at Los Angeles over the Clippers was their first road victory since November 30. They are now in a revenge situation, as they were upset by the Suns at home back on December 13. This is one venue that the Sixers have not minded visiting, going 4-1 ATS in their last 5 trips, including an authoritative 21-point thrashing of Phoenix last season as 4-point underdogs. Philadelphia has been an excellent defensive team this season, allowing just 91.4 points per game, and I think they should be able to throttle a Suns team that is averaging just 90.8 points per contest here at home. Phoenix is just 4-4 ATS at home vs. the East this year, with a +2.3 AMOV that would not be good enough to cover even this small spot.
