Philadelphia 76ers Odds

Philadelphia 76ers 2021-22 Season

The 76ers finally sent Ben Simmons out of town after a long back-and-forth with their former No. 1 overall pick. What did they get in return for him and Seth Curry? James Harden.

Philadelphia’s NBA Finals odds jumped up while the Nets’ dropped a bit, meaning Vegas is seeing things in a new light after the trade. With Joel Embiid playing at an MVP level, anything is possible for this Sixers team as playoff time approaches and they continue to contend for a high seed.

Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers

As the 76ers make their push for another playoff run, bettors have the opportunity play alongside the team with the following bet types.

• Moneyline
• Point Spread
• Over/Unders
• Props
• Future Odds

76ers Moneylines

Many first time bettors are wary of point spread bets, especially when riding with the hometown team. In that case, moneyline wagers are often seen as the safer way to go. A moneyline bet is a bet on who wins the game -- no point spread involved. The Sixers won 49 games in the shortened season on their way to the 2-seed in the Eastern Conference, netting bettors 8.55 units on the moneyline.

Let’s use the same example from before to understand the moneyline better:

• Brooklyn Nets +150
• Philadelphia 76ers -180

Just as with point spreads, the minus sign (-) signifies a team is favored, while the plus sign (+) means a team is the underdog. The moneyline odds, written in American odds format here, indicate how big or small a favorite that team is, written in increments of $100. For example, to win $100 on the 76ers, a bettor would need to risk $180. On the flip side, a $100 bet on the visiting Nets would net $150 if Brooklyn pulled the upset.

76ers Spread

One of the most basic bets in basketball is made on the point spread: Simply put, the point spread is a margin of victory the favored team must win by for them to cover the spread. The 76ers are an even 29-29 against-the-spread (ATS) through the All-Star break.

Here’s a brief example of a point spread for a hypothetical 76ers game:

• Brooklyn Nets (+3.5)
• Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5)

As shown above, the 76ers are favored by 3.5 points home against the Brooklyn Nets; the minus sign (-) indicates Philadelphia is the favorite, while a plus sign (+) is used to denote the underdog. Bettors who wanted to back Philadelphia here would be “laying” those 3.5 points, meaning for their bets to cash the Sixers would need to win by four points or more. Bettors who selected the Nets +3.5 would win if Brooklyn won outright or kept a loss to three or fewer points.

76ers Over/Unders

Betting on a team to win or cover a point spread isn’t the only type of wager allowed on 76ers games. Almost all sportsbooks will offer a total on the game, also known as an over/under. This bet is not on the winner of the contest, but on the number of points the two teams will combine to score; sportsbooks hang a number, and bettors can wager either over or under that total.

The 76ers defense means that their unders hits more often than their overs – in 2021-22, they’re 24-33-1 on overs, the third lowest record in the NBA.

If the number for our hypothetical Nets-76ers matchup was 221 points, over bettors would require 222 points or more to cash their tickets, while those who bet the under would need 220 or fewer points. If the two teams scored exactly 221 points between them, that bet would push and all wagers would be refunded.

76ers Prop Bets

Some bettors find more entertainment and success betting on more specific outcomes than the result of the game. Prop bets cover a wide market of wagers on player stats, discrete in-game events, and any style of yes/no question. Many props are bets on specific players and their performance, such as betting Joel Embiid over 11.5 rebounds on a given night, or betting that Ben Simmons will record a triple-double. Some props can be shorter term, such as betting on the number of 3-pointers made in the first quarter or who will score the first basket. Offerings tend to vary depending on the sportsbook, so use our sportsbook reviews to find the best bet for you.

76ers Future Odds

Expectations are now sky high in Philly with James Harden joining Joel Embiid & Co., so bettors will have to shop for the best line to get good odds on 76ers futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long term outcomes, like the Sixers to make the playoffs, win the Atlantic Division, win the Eastern Conference, win the NBA Finals, or even individual awards like Embiid or Harden winning league MVP.
