Tonight:
3X-- PHILADELPHIA 76ers -7 1/2
I realize the Sixers have a few questions, 1)Marc Jackson broke his left ring finger and is having surgery today-- 2) Philadelphia also is without injured forwards Derrick Coleman and Glenn Robinson------but they also have a big Answer. Look for Iverson to go off tonight at home. The Sixers and Iverson bombed Chicago in November, 106-85. Iverson scored 33 in that contest. I see 40+ tonight. Philly has been a very difficult home team to less than .500 teams over the past 5 years. I do not expect another team that has made dramatic changes to walk into Philly tonight and win again like the Raptors did last time out. Look for an old fashion blowout. Sixers should be double digit winners. I would rate it higher, but the Sixers need to get healthy.
TRENDS:
CHICAGO is 5-12 in all games this season. (56-125 over the last 3 seasons.)
CHICAGO is 3-7 revenging a loss vs opponent this season. (42-88 over the last 3 seasons.)
Summary of games over the last 3 seasons

The average score in these games was PHILADELPHIA 105, CHICAGO 93
Good Luck
