🧠 Raymond Report Market Read
Philadelphia 76ers -9.5 is a sizable number. The market is pricing meaningful separation here, which can create value on the underdog side if the closing line moves. Big spreads tend to tighten late when sharp money recognizes inflated numbers — the question is whether the Indiana Pacers have enough firepower to stay within range or if this line is justified.
At 233.5, this total is posted 8.5 points above the NBA average of 225. The market is expecting an up-tempo, score-heavy affair. Elevated totals invite public Over money — which means contrarian Under value can emerge if the pace doesn’t match the projection.
