Philadelphia 76ers Daily Fantasy Spin
Philadelphia center Joel Embiid missed the team’s last game with left hip soreness, but he’s probable to play in Saturday’s road tilt with Oklahoma City. Embiid leads the NBA in scoring this season with 31.9 points per game.
Philadelphia shooting guard Kelly Oubre Jr. will miss Saturday’s game with a rib injury he suffered in an off-court accident. Oubre will reportedly be re-evaluated in one week. For the season, Kelly Oubre Jr. is fourth on the team in scoring with 16.3 points per game.
Oklahoma City Thunder Daily Fantasy Spin
Oklahoma City forward Jalen Williams will miss Saturday’s game with a left hip strain. Williams is in the midst of a breakout season as he’s averaging 17.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 3.4 made free throws per game in 2023. Williams’ absence should mean increased minutes for Isaiah Joe, Jaylin Williams, and Kenrich Williams.
Thunder small forward Lindy Waters III is questionable for Saturday’s game due to lower back spasms. Waters averaged 8.0 points per game in 25 contests for Oklahoma City last season.

76ers vs. Thunder NBA Prediction:
Oklahoma City has won 6 straight games. They have covered the spread in all 6 of those wins. The Thunder have the second-best record in the league against the number this season at 12-3. They rank in the top six in the NBA in both offensive and defensive efficiency, and they’re first in the league with an average scoring margin of +9.1 points per game. The Thunder are one of the best young teams in the league, even without Jalen Williams.
The 76ers have lost 2 straight games. Philadelphia lost at home to a Cleveland team that didn’t have Donovan Mitchell on Tuesday. Then, the 76ers lost on the road at Minnesota without Joel Embiid on Wednesday. All told, the 76ers have lost 4 of their last 6 games. I think the Thunder’s depth and home-court advantage will propel them to the win over a 76ers team that seems to have hit a rough patch.
