How to Watch Nets-76ers Game On Tuesday
In a showdown that many have had circled on their calendars since the NBA schedule was released, the Brooklyn Nets will travel to “The City of Brotherly Love” on Tuesday night, where they won’t receive much love from the fans against the Philadelphia 76ers.
This matchup will not only feature two bitter rivals facing off in a hostile environment, but new fuel has been added to the fire in which this rivalry burns, as this will mark Ben Simmons’ return to Philadelphia, a city that should embrace him with open arms and applause from the stands.
Yeah, maybe this would happen in a fairytale, but not in real life!
The fans of the 76ers are going to let Simmons hear it from the very second he steps on the court for warmups, which should create for a very ruckus and rowdy crowd all night long, despite the 76ers dealing with several key injuries with Joel Embiid, James Harden and Tyrese Maxey all being ruled out.
Kevin Durant has been fantastic for the Brooklyn Nets this season, as he has recorded at least 26 points in all 17 games for Brooklyn to begin the season. He is just five consecutive games of 25-plus points away from tying Elgin Baylor’s 25-game mark to begin a season back during the 1961-62 season, which is the third-highest streak of 25-point games to begin a season.
Kyrie Irving played well in his return from suspension last game for the Nets and Ben Simmons is coming off his best performance as a member of the Nets, recording 22 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in 35 minutes of play during Brooklyn’s last game.
Will the Nets keep their positive momentum going in Philadelphia or will the short-handed 76ers and their passionate crowd somehow escape with a victory?
Here is how to watch Tuesday night’s game with gametimes and TV, lineups, bios and other must-know details.
