Los Angeles at Philadelphia

This spread strikes me as a bit too large. Yes, the Clippers have been weak on the road but they should keep this one close as Philly tends to play poorly against similar teams. Philadelphia is 1-5 ATS when playing against a marginal losing team (Win Pct. 40% to 49%) this season. Philadelphia is 28-51 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points over the last 3 seasons and 1-8 ATS at home in non-conference games this season. Two stars on Los Angeles.
