A two-game sample size is hardly enough to make any grand conclusions about who the new-look Philadelphia 76ers are or will be. But the pairing of James Harden and Joel Embiid certainly looks to be a fit better than anyone could’ve imagined.
The Sixers are 2-0 since acquiring Harden from the Brooklyn Nets, and they’ve won those games by a combined 47 points. It was the first time they covered the spread in consecutive games in over a month, according to Covers.com.
