Key Stats
Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets are coming off a double-digit loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, 110-97. That loss snapped the Nets’ three-game winning streak. In the loss, Cameron Johnson scored a team-high 18 points on 6/11 shooting. Nic Claxton had a decent game with 8 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 stocks. Keon Johnson was solid with 16 points on 8/19 shooting. This is a young team without much experience that is here for the ride. With a record of 20-35, they sit 12th in the Eastern Conference. Maybe in a few seasons, Brooklyn will be a place to be in the NBA.
However, defensively, this team is bad. They rank 8th in points allowed per game, 26th in opponent field goal %, 24th in opponent 3-point field goal %, 27th in blocks per game, 23rd in steals per game, 29th in rebounds per game, and 21st in defensive rating. In terms of injuries, D’Angelo Russell and Noah Clowney have been ruled out for this game and Cam Thomas is still rehabbing his hamstring injury. Without them, the Nets have little chance to beat a bad 76ers team. Over their last ten games, they have a record of 6-4, including 6-2-2 against the spread.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a double-digit loss at home to the Boston Celtics, 124-104. Joel Embiid was bad with only 15 points and 3 rebounds in 27 minutes, didn’t play in the 4th quarter. Tyrese Maxey was solid with 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists. However, he finished with a team-low -25. On the bright side, Paul George had his highest-scoring game since January 25th with 17 points. On paper, this team has too much talent to be where they are. With a record of 20-35 on the season, they sit 11th in the Eastern Conference. Tied with the Nets.
Defensively, this team is subpar. Philly ranks 16th in points allowed per game, 30th in opponent field goal %, 28th in opponent 3-point field goal %, 28th in blocks per game, 4th in steals per game, 30th in rebounds per game, and 23rd in defensive rating. In terms of injuries, Eric Gordon, Kyle Lowry, and Justin Edwards have been ruled out for this game. Despite all being role/bench players, they are still important to this 6ers team. Over their last ten games, Philly has a record of 2-8, including 3-7-0 against the spread.
Prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers are going to defeat the Brooklyn Nets and cover the massive 10.5-point spread in this game. Yes, the 76ers have been dreadful this season, but so have the Nets. I believe that with a semi-healthy team, Philadelphia will overwhelm this injury-riddled Brooklyn team. Joel Embiid has had success against the Nets in his career, averaging 29 points and 12 rebounds against them in his career. Despite it only being 17 points, maybe just seeing the ball go in will help PG get in a groove. Philly dominates the Nets in his game and avenge their loss from ten days ago.
Final Pick
Philadelphia 76ers -10.5 (-108)
