Top NBA picks for Wednesday, March 4

After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is backing the 76ers to defeat the Jazz by between 11 to 15 points (+420). Utah has lost six in a row, losing by double digits in four of those games. Philadelphia has the 19th-best scoring differential in the NBA at -0.1, while Utah is ranked No. 26 at -7.9 points. The Jazz also allow the most points per game at 125.8, while Philadelphia is 19th, allowing 116.2.

Guard Tyrese Maxey powers the 76ers’ offense, averaging 29 points per game. He has scored 30 or more points in three of his last five games. Utah will be undermanned once again as forward Lauri Markkanen, the team’s leading scorer, is sidelined with a hip injury. In his place, guard Keyonte George has been powering the offense. In Monday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets, he scored 36 points.
