Just 4 days after their shocking 121-107 win at crypto.com Arena, the Philadelphia 76ers are hoping to complete the season sweep of the LA Clippers as the two teams meet tonight in Philadelphia. Tip-off is at 7.30 pm ET on ESPN as part of their double-header. I’ve prepared a Same Game Parlay which you can find below.

Let’s dive into my SGP bet now!

Russell Westbrook Over 3.5 Assists (+116)

Norman Powell Over 2.5 Made Threes (+120)

Ivica Zubac to Score 10+ Points (-128)

Same Game Parlay odds: +642

Russell Westbrook Over 3.5 Assists (+116)

The downfall of the Clippers has coincided with the injury to Russell Westbrook. In 12 games without him, LA went just 6-6 SU, struggling on both ends of the floor. In their last 10 games the Clippers are just 29th in defensive rating, but all that should change with Russ back in the mix now. In his first game back he finished with 14 points and 7 assists in just 18 minutes played. His return will do wonders for this team, especially for the likes of James Harden who no longer has to handle the ball non-stop on offense. Instead, the Beard can take a breather for longer periods of time and let Russ just do his thing. The 7 assists from Monday’s game will be tough to replicate, but we only need 4 for our bet to cash here. At +116 odds I really like our chances, especially with Westbrook averaging 10 dimes per game in his last 10 meetings with the 76ers.

Norman Powell Over 2.5 Made Threes (+120)

One of the biggest beneficiaries of Westbrook’s return is Norman Powell. This was evident right from the get go as he went for 22 points in the loss to Indiana, on 61% efficiency from the field and 40% from three-point land. The 22 points scored was one of his highest marks of this calendar year so far and I expect him to continue delivering similar performances as we get closer to the postseason. If there is one thing Westbrook does well at this stage of his career it is finding open shooters. Opposing teams normally focus on Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, so players like Powell, Tucker and Mann always get fed properly when Russ is around. Powell is averaging 2.5 threes per Game on over 39% shooting this month, role players are very important when it comes to winning on the road and I expect him to deliver another solid output in this one.

Ivica Zubac to Score 10+ Points (-128)

Playing alongside Harden and Westbrook has done wonders to the confidence of Clippers big man Ivica Zubac. He’s averaging 11.3 points per Game this season, that’s only going to improve with Russ coming back. We just saw Big Zu score 13 points in Sunday’s Game vs Philadelphia, the 76ers just aren’t equipped on the center position to handle players like him when Embiid is out. The pick and roll combination between Zubac and Harden is tough to stop, but the one between him and Russ is even more lethal. I expect those two to keep the big man engaged here and find him for open looks close to the basket.
