THE PROFESSOR’S NBA “CLASS-IS-IN-SESSION!” (SIGNATURE PICK!)
(NBA) San Antonio vs. Philadelphia, 08/03/2020 8:00 PM, Score: 130 - 132
Point Spread: -7.00 | -106.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Loss
The San Antonio Spurs are on a roll since returning to basketball having won four in a row. Today will be a test as they will be playing the second game of a back to back after taking care of the Memphis Grizzlies 108-106 win last night. DeRozan hit two free throws in the final second for the win. The Philadelphia 76ers will look to bounce back after losing to the Pacers in a 127-121 loss. Joel Embiid had a huge night with 31 points, 21 rebounds and four assists in a losing effort. They blew a 10 point fourth-quarter lead when they forgot how to play defense and gave up 46 points in the quarter.

Philadelphia is 5-2 in their last 7 against the Spurs. Embiid looked unstoppable in their last game but couldn't stop anyone in the fourth. San Antonio will be playing for their second game in a row and may be a step behind late in the game. I like the 76'ers to bounce back and roll in this one.

Play on Philadelphia.
