Monday’s contest is shaping up to be a blowout: The 76ers haven’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 119.5 points per game. It’s a different story for the Trail Blazers, though, as they’ve been averaging only 107.8 points per game. The only thing between the 76ers and another offensive beatdown is the Trail Blazers. Will they be able to keep them contained?
Everything went the 76ers’ way against the Trail Blazers in their previous meeting back in October of 2023 as the 76ers made off with a 126-98 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the 76ers since the team won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
