Philadelphia 76ers DFS SPIN
Tobias Harris scored 27 points in the 76ers Christmas day loss to the Miami Heat. Harris played over 40 minutes and went 10/18 from the floor, the Sixers will need him to have another big night Wednesday as Joel Embiid will miss his second consecutive game with a right ankle sprain.
Orlando Magic DFS SPIN
Franz Wagner recorded 28 points in Orlando’s 127-119 victory against Washington last night. Wagner also grabbed eight rebounds and dished out nine assists to go along with his 28 points. Orlando hopes Joe Ingles and Jonathan Issac are good to go Wednesday, as they are both listed as questionable.

76ers vs. Magic Prediction:
Philadelphia looks to get back in the win column on Wednesday, while Orlando looks to win their third straight,
Give me the over in this one. Without Embiid in the lineup, the Sixers struggle with rim protection on the defensive end of the floor. On offense, obviously not having a player who averages over 30 ppg is not ideal, however Philly tends to favor the long ball even more without Embiid. The 76ers were 17/45 on three-pointers versus Miami two days ago, I expect to see a similar number of attempts and hopefully more makes tonight. Orlando is efficient on the offensive end of the floor, and being on a B2B the defense may be a little slow. All factors point to the over in this one.
NBA BETTING PREDICTION: Over 227.5
