76ers vs Kings Betting Pick
This game will be played at 10:00 PM ET at Golden1 Center on Monday, November 22, 2021.
Why Bet The Kings:
✅ Philadelphia is playing its fifth straight road game, and they are doing so without the services of Ben Simmons, Danny Green or Joel Embiid. Embiid is out due to COVID-19 protocols right now, which really diminishes this team’s ability to get scoring from their bigs. While Andre Drummond can rebound, he lacks the scoring punch to make this team a contender until Embiid comes back.
✅ The Kings are dealing with the firing of head coach Luke Walton, which happened just this past weekend. With Walton gone, the Kings are going to be in much better shape from a game management perspective, which will allow them to take better advantage of depleted teams like the Sixers.

✅ While the Sixers are a better defensive team, the Kings are superior offensively, especially with Embiid out for this contest. Expect the Kings to execute well offensively, and to do just enough on the defensive end of the floor to win this game.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers have lost six of their last seven games, and are struggling mightily as currently constructed. The Sixers are without their best player in Joel Embiid due to COVID-19 protocols, as well as their third best player in Ben Simmons due to mental health concerns. That has left them in a place where Tobias Harris has been asked to do way too much offensively, to the detriment of the team as a whole.
In this game, the Sixers find themselves in the same spot, where they have to find scoring from several role players to have any chance. Players like Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and Tyrese Maxey, who are not normally volume scorers, will have to become volume scorers if Philly wants to win this game.
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings made major headlines this weekend when they fired head coach Luke Walton. Sacramento had lost three straight games, and seven of their last eight, prior to the firing of Walton. Now the Kings will look to turn things around with an interim head coach, as they hope that the chance will at least help them manage their rotations more effectively.
In this game, the Kings will look to take advantage of a depleted Sixers guard pool, as the Sacramento nucleus of Fox, Haliburton and Davion Mitchell should be able to get the looks that they need to be successful here. As long as Sacramento can avoid a complete meltdown defensively against a subpar Sixers lineup, they have a real chance to start their post-Walton era with a win.
