76ers vs. Nets: Betting Odds, Game Notes & Prediction

For the second time this season, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets will battle it out. Earlier this year, the Nets paid a visit to the Sixers on November 22. As expected, the game had a lot of hype behind it, considering it was the return of Ben Simmons in Philadelphia.

Although the matchup lost a lot of juice beforehand since the Sixers missed three key starters in Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and James Harden — the Sixers still managed to take care of business and pulled off an upset victory in South Philly.

Since that late November matchup, both the Sixers and the Nets have picked up their play. After slow starts, the Sixers and the Nets have climbed up the Eastern Conference ranks.

For Philadelphia, they have won their last five games. As they surged out West, they advanced from the fourth seed to the second seed in the Eastern Conference.

Meanwhile, the Kevin Durant-less Nets are one game back from the Sixers, as they’ve gone 5-5 over their last ten games.
