Prediction
76ers 111, Nets 100
Moneyline (ML)
The 76ers (-295) are heavily favored even with Embiid on the shelf, and you can’t risk nearly three times the return on them. The Nets (+230) are coming in on the second end of a back-to-back after getting knocked off at home last night by the Jazz, 118-107. PASS.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
I don’t love the 76ERS (-7.5, -106) here, as they have really struggled without Embiid. In fact, they’re coming off a 101-95 loss in Indiana Monday, and they have won just four of their 10 games without ‘The Process’ this season.
However, the Nets (+7.5, -115) are on the second end of a back-to-back, and they didn’t cover at home vs. Utah. The Nets are 2-8 ATS in the past 10 games overall, 1-5 ATS in the past six as an underdog, and 0-6 ATS in the past six as a road dog. The Sixers are also 4-1 ATS in the previous five meetings. Those facts make Philly attractive, even without Embiid.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 222.5 (-121) is the way to go in this one, especially with a big chunk of Philly’s offense on the shelf, and the Nets entering with tired legs. The Under is 5-0 in Brooklyn’s past five playing with no rest, while the Under is 5-1 in Philly’s past six overall.
