Philadelphia at San Antonio

This number seems right, except the oddsmakers forgot one thing. The Spurs are certainly a hot team right now and have been on a 19-6 run. Where the oddsmakers erred here is the fate of this aging Spur team on back-to-back nights. The Spurs have produced a 1-6 mark on back-to-backs, and two of those were against Minnesota, another against the lowly Clippers and yet another against Milwaukee. The best the Spurs could muster against the NBA bottom dwellers was a six point win. Philadelphia has had a murderous road trip, but find themselves in the right place at the right time in this one, and I'll back them as a dog here.
