Nets at 76ers picks and predictions
Prediction
Nets 115, 76ers 111
Moneyline
BET NETS (+195).
Philadelphia has lost 5 games in a row and 9 of its last 10. It seems to have had recent locker room struggles which have put it on a bad track to start the season. Fade the 76ers until they prove otherwise.
Brooklyn has scored 114 or more points in 3 of its last 4 games with Johnson leading the way, which he should be expected to do again Friday.
Against the spread
PASS.
The moneyline has better value on the Nets.
Over/Under
BET OVER 216.5 (-110).
Embiid’s absence had caused a lot of offensive turmoil for Philly. It has scored 99 or fewer points in 4 of its last 8 games, but with him back on the court, expect Philly to carry its load.
Brooklyn has hit the Over in 4 of its last 5 games. It has scored 114 or more points in 3 of its last 4 games and allowed 114 or more in 4 straight.
