Key Stats
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a terrible loss last game against the Toronto Raptors 106-103. Joel Embiid dominated the game with 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists. Tyrese Maxey played terribly in the loss. He finished the game with 5 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. Quintin Grimes had a nice game with 13 points and 7 rebounds. With the talent this team possesses, there is no reason they should be where they are. Philly has a record of 20-33 on the season and sits 11th in the Eastern Conference.
Defensively, this team isn’t very good. They are ranked 16th in points allowed per game, 30th in opponent field goal %, 25th in opponent 3-point field goal %, 28th in blocks per game, 4th in steals per game, and 30th in rebounds per game. In terms of this injury-riddled team, there are a few key injuries. Joel Embiid, Eric Gordon, and Kyle Lowry are listed as OUT for this game. With the addition of Paul George this past offseason, this was a team that had so much promise, and injuries have been with this team for years.
Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets are coming off a nice win at home against the Charlotte Hornets, 97-89. This team has won 5 of the last 6 games. In the win against the Hornets, Nic Claxton had a good game with 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 stocks. Cameron Johnson was good with 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. D’Angelo Russell was subpar in the game despite the win, he finished the game with 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists in only 23 minutes. They have a record of 19-34 on the season, which has them sitting in 12th in the Eastern Conference.
Defensively, this team isn’t very good. They are ranked 8th in points allowed per game, 26th in opponent field goal %, 27th in opponent 3-point field goal %, 27th in blocks per game, 25th in steals per game, and 29th in rebounds per game. In terms of injuries, Cam Thomas is still out with that hamstring injury. Nic Claxton is questionable for this game with an ankle injury. This is a fun and exciting team that is a few years away from being a potential contender in the Eastern Conference.
Prediction
The Brooklyn Nets are going to win outright against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Nets are the hotter and healthier team in this spot. I expect D’Angelo Russell to have a great game in this spot. Without Joel Embiid, the 76ers are not the same team. Tyrese Maxey is coming off his worst game of the season. Despite him being in a great spot to bounce back, I believe that the Nets are the hotter team in this game and this spot. The Brooklyn Nets are going to win this game and pull off the upset against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Final Pick
Brooklyn Nets ML (+124)
