Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Philadelphia 76ers (35-25) visit the Brooklyn Nets (24-37) Tuesday with tip-off from Barclays Center set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the 76ers vs. Nets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1 with each team winning on the road

Philadelphia picked up a 120-116 win over the Dallas Mavericks Sunday while covering as a 7.5-point road underdog. Philly winning the turnover battle 17-9 and having 3 players eclipse the 20-point mark was instrumental in the win. The 76ers have won back-to-back games.

Brooklyn lost 106-102 to the Memphis Grizzlies Monday while failing to cover as a 10-point home favorite. The Nets were outrebounded 50-33 in the loss, which ended a 2-game win streak.

76ers at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 110, Nets 106

Moneyline

BET 76ERS (-140).

Philadelphia has won in 9 of its last 10 matchups vs. Brooklyn overall and is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in Brooklyn. The 76ers have also been a good road team this season, going 16-12, while the Nets are only 15-18 at home.

Against the spread

PASS.

Philly has been dominant ATS vs. Brooklyn recently, but the 76ers have been even more dominant straight up recently vs. the Nets, and I am not a fan of doubling down.

The Nets are also not worth betting on as they have a worse ATS record this season and have been bad ATS in recent matchups vs. Philadelphia.

Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 217.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in 6 of Philadelphia’s last 7 overall and is 3-1 in its last 4 road games. For Brooklyn, the Under is 7-3 in its last 10 games and is 33-27-1 for the Nets this season. The Under has also hit in 4 of the last 5 Brooklyn-Philadelphia matchups.

Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets Game 4 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets Game 4 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers go for the sweep against the Brooklyn Nets Saturday in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. Tip from Barclays Center is set for 1 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the 76ers vs. Nets odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Series: The 76ers lead 3-0

The Sixers had a little bit of a battle in Game 3 Thursday but prevailed 102-97. G Tyrese Maxey led the way with 25 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 44 seconds to go. C Joel Embiid struggled with 14 points and 10 boards. He left the court in the 1st quarter for treatment and was seen limping throughout the game. He has been ruled out Saturday with a sprained knee, but the team hopes he can return sometime early next week.

Brooklyn played physically and was able to get into G James Harden‘s head enough to get him ejected in the 3rd quarter. Nets F Mikal Bridges had 26 points, 6 boards and 5 assists in Game 3, but it wasn’t enough. Bridges is emerging into a star, averaging 25.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in the series. Can he carry the team to salvage a game?

76ers at Nets Game 4 picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 115, Nets 104

Moneyline

Embiid’s absence is a huge void but it’s not a death sentence for Philadelphia, who is still favored in this game. The Sixers were 11-5 and averaged 118.4 points without Embiid this season. One of those games was a 134-105 victory in Brooklyn April 9 in a game with reserves for both sides. Philly also beat Brooklyn 115-106 in November while F Kevin Durant and G Kyrie Irving were still on the team and active.

PASS on the moneyline because the spread looks better.

Against the spread

The Sixers have won 8 out of the last 9 games in the series, and only 1 of those games was by 6 points or fewer. The Nets have failed to cover the spread in the last 5 games facing a team with a winning road record and winning straight-up record.

We’re saving 20 cents on the dollar by giving Brooklyn a basket.

Take the SIXERS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Over cashed in Game 1 thanks to a 121-point explosion by Philly, but the Under has cashed the last 2 games. Only one point has been shaved off with Embiid out. As mentioned Philadelphia scored 118.4 points per game without him this season, and Maxey, Harden and Tobias Harris are ready to shut the Barclays’ lights off for the summer.

Take the OVER 208.5 (-115).

Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets Game 3 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets Game 3 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The 3-seed Philadelphia 76ers try to remain in control against the 6-seed Brooklyn Nets Thursday in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. Tip from Barclays Center is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the 76ers vs. Nets odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Series: The 76ers lead 2-0

The Sixers have cruised in this series with 121-101 and 96-84 wins at home as the series shifts to Brooklyn. G Tyrese Maxey had 33 points and went 6-for-13 (46.2%) from 3-point land in Game 2. C Joel Embiid had 20 points, 19 boards, 7 assists and 3 blocks, but really has been on cruise control as the supporting cast has balled out.

Nets F Cameron Johnson had a team-high 28 points in Game 2 and has shot the lights out from deep at 9-for-17 (52.9%). F Mikal Bridges had 21 points, 5 boards and 7 assists in Game 2, but Brooklyn will need big games from both and some help in order to make this a series.

76ers at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 105, Nets 94

Moneyline

If the Nets are going to avoid a sweep, they must take this game. I just don’t see evidence that they can do so. Philadelphia is 6-0 against Brooklyn this year, and they won both meetings at Barclays.

The ML is too pricey, but we can create a One Game Parlay for some value. 76ERS ML + JOEL EMBIID 20 POINTS + JOEL EMBIID 10+ REBOUNDS (+110) is a lower-risk, plus-money payout worth pursuing.

Against the spread

The Sixers have won 7 out of the last 8 games in the series, and only 1 of those games were by 5 points or fewer. The Nets are 0-4 in the last 4 games facing a team with a winning road record and winning straight-up record.

Embiid didn’t have to work too hard last game with Maxey running the show, and he could have a big game to put Brooklyn on the brink

Take the SIXERS -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over cashed in Game 1 thanks to a 121-point explosion by Philly. The Under cashed by 32.5 points as Game 2 served as a market correction. Three points have been shaven off, and I still like the Under here. Half of the last 10 between the teams have gone Under.

LEAN UNDER 209.5 (-110).

Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (53-28) and Brooklyn Nets (45-36) meet Sunday to wrap up their regular-season schedules. Tip-off from Barclays Center is set for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the 76ers vs. Nets odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Philadelphia leads 3-0

The 76ers covered as 12-point road underdogs in a 136-131 overtime win Friday at the Atlanta Hawks. The 76ers rested all of their starters as they already clinched the 3rd seed in the East heading into the postseason. F Jalen McDaniels and F Georges Niang both provided big buckets for Philly in that win, each scoring 24 points.

Brooklyn covered as a 9.5-point home favorite in a 101-84 blowout win vs. the Orlando Magic Friday. The Nets played their starters their usual minutes to get that win and clinch the 6th seed in the East, narrowly avoiding the play-in tournament. Expect Brooklyn to rest its starters Sunday.

76ers at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 108, Nets 105

Moneyline

LEAN 76ERS (+140).

This is a tough game to gauge as both teams are expected to rest some of their best players. The 76ers are the safer lean here as their reserves just beat a Hawks team that was at full strength. Look for the 76ers bench to show up again and beat the Nets reserves in this one.

Against the spread

BACK 76ERS +3.5 (-115).

Divvy up 1½ units between this spread wager and the Philly (+140) ML wager.

Philadelphia is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games after scoring 125 points or more in its previous outing. The 76ers also were able to cover the spread on the road vs. the Hawks Friday, making this bet look even more desirable.

Over/Under

While the O/U is currently off the board as of this publishing, I suggest BETTING A FULL UNIT on any UNDER of 221.5 or higher. Bet 0.75 units if the O/U line ranges between 218-221.

This is your safest bet for this game. The Under is 9-2 in Philadelphia’s last 11 games playing on 1 day of rest and 4-0 in its last 4 Sunday games. For Brooklyn, the Under is 4-1 in its last 5 games and 4-0 in its last 4 home games.

Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (35-19) battle the Brooklyn Nets (33-22) Saturday. Tip from the Barclays Center is set for 6 p.m. ET (NBATV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the 76ers vs. Nets odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

This is the 3rd of 4 battles between these two franchises. Philadelphia has won both but failed to cover their Jan. 25 meeting in which it beat Brooklyn 137-133, closing as a 7-point home favorite.

The 76ers will be on the 2nd night of a back-to-back after beating the Knicks 119-108 Friday, covering as a 7-point home favorite. Philly is 3-2 against the spread (ATS) over its last 5. It is 31-23 ATS on the season.

The Nets, on the other hand, traded both G Kyrie Irving and F Kevin Durant before the Thursday deadline. Since then, they covered their lone game, beating the Bulls 116-105 Thursday and closing as a 3-point home underdog. They are 28-25-2 ATS on the season.

76ers at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 117, Nets 109

Moneyline

PASS.

The 76ers have the tools to dominate, and they should do just that. Take their spread value over the (-120) moneyline odds, though.

Against the spread

BET 76ERS -1.5 (-105).

Even if the recent acquisitions play for Brooklyn, the 76ers should still have the edge. They are 3-2 ATS over their last 5 games and over their last 5 road games. The Nets covered their lone game without Durant and Irving, but the Bulls were held to 19% shooting.

Expect Philly to pose a larger challenge. Philadelphia is 14-11 straight up on the road, which is valuable given how close this line is to a pick ’em. The 76ers are 22-17-1 ATS as a favorite.

Back the 76ERS -1.5 (-105).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 224.5 (-110).

The Nets are 4-1 O/U in their last 5 games, and they put up 116 points with a few of their new additions Thursday. The 76ers, on the other hand, are 5-4 O/U in their last 9 games and are 2-2 O/U in their last 4. Both teams are averaging over 114 points per game this season as well.

Considering recent trends, back the OVER 224.5 (-110).

Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (15-13) stop by Barclays Center Thursday for a 7:30 p.m. ET game with the Brooklyn Nets (20-8). Below, we look at the 76ers vs. Nets odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions, and bets.

Brooklyn won its third straight game Tuesday by beating the Toronto Raptors 131-129 in overtime but failed to cover as 4.5-point home favorites.

Over the past two weeks, the Nets are 5-2 straight-up (SU), 3-4 ATS and 2-5 O/U with the ninth-best non-garbage time efficiency differential (plus-2.0 points per 100 possessions), according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG).

Philly has lost back-to-back games at the Memphis Grizzlies Monday and vs. the Miami Heat Wednesday.

The Sixers are 4-3 SU, 2-5 ATS and 2-4-1 O/U with the 22nd-best non-garbage time efficiency differential (minus-4.2 points per 100 possessions).

The Nets took down the Sixers 114-109 in their first meeting of the season, Oct. 22, and the Under cashed on the 224-point total.

Kevin Durant was the best player on the floor that night; KD scored 29 points, grabbed 15 boards and threw 12 assists.

76ers at Nets odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 106, Nets 101

Money line

BET the 76ERS (-108+) for 1 unit because the Nets (-112) will only have three bigs in their rotation, and Philly has two All-Star bigs – including All-NBA Second-Team C Joel Embiid.

Also, KD has been ballin’ recently and Brooklyn plays the highest volume of isolation offense. But, Philly has the best defensive efficiency vs. iso-ball, and Sixers wing Matisse Thybulle is one of the best on-ball defenders in the NBA.

Furthermore, Thybulle spent most of his time defending Harden in the first 76ers-Nets meeting this season, so now with Harden inactive for this game, Thybulle’s defensive tenacity can be used against KD.

Lastly, not only are the Sixers much healthier but they should’ve beaten the Nets in their first meeting when both teams were at full health. Philly squandered a 14-point lead and was up 12 points in the fourth quarter.

BET 76ERS (-108) for 1 unit.

Against the spread

PASS since the 76ers +1.5 (-120) is hardly any insurance for our Philly money line wager. For what it’s worth, the market is hammering the Nets -1.5 (-105) in this spot (according to the Yahoo! Sports app).

On top of that, Philly is 9-7 ATS on the road, Brooklyn is an NBA’s worst 3-10-1 ATS at home, and the Nets have failed to cover the spread in their past six home games.

Over/Under

With so much firepower out of the picture in this tilt, 216.5 is a pretty tall task. You can bet UNDER 216.5 (-110) with confidence.

Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Thursday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets NBA betting odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Philadelphia 76ers (7-1) stop by Barclays Center for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off against the Brooklyn Nets (4-4) Thursday. Below, we analyze the 76ers-Nets NBA betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Philadelphia survived a donnybrook at home vs. the Washington Wizards last night beating Washington 141-136 but couldn’t cover the 6.5-point spread. The 76ers countered a 60-point game by Wizards SG Bradley Beal with 61.7% field-goal shooting and 62.1% from 3-point land as a team.

Brooklyn was getting 4.5 points at home, partially due to the absence of SF Kevin Durant, and it beat the brakes off of the Utah Jazz 130-96 Tuesday. Kyrie Irving came out and lit up the Jazz in the first quarter, scoring 18 points on 100% shooting with 3 rebounds and 3 assists. the Nets beat the Jazz 35-14 in the opening 12 minutes.

What should be a litmus test game for both teams has been lessened a tad only because KD is sidelined due to health and safety protocols stemming from his close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. In 2019-20, the 76ers beat the Nets 3-1 (3-1 against the spread) in the season series.

76ers at Nets: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

76ers 113, Nets 107

Money line (ML)

It’s a sucker play but I am going to roll with the 76ERS (-130) for 1.5 units. I say that because according to Pregame.com, more than 70% of the money is on the Nets (the sharp side) while a slight majority of the tickets/bets placed are on the 76ers (the average Joe).

We’re due for a bounce-back game by a Philadelphia team that has the best defensive rating in the NBA. The 76ers are 2-6 O/U and the six in the Under column is mostly due to their defense. Philadelphia’s perimeter defense has all the personnel it needs to be the best in the league with new hire SG Danny Green and star PG Ben Simmons.

Sometimes you have to be OK with losing money. What I mean by that is if Brooklyn can trot out SG Bruce Brown and SF Jeff Green in its starting lineup and beat a 7-1 Philadelphia then I’m alright taking an L on this one.

GIMME 76ERS (-130) for 2 units.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS ON THE SPREAD because I’d rather spend the extra 15 cents on the dollar to not have to worry about the 76ers covering any number.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS ON THE TOTAL with a lean on the UNDER 226.5 (-110). It appears as though both sides of the market are hammering the Over and I don’t feel like fading them considering the offensive firepower on both sides.

My read is we see a good Philadelphia performance, however, the Over has cashed in three straight 76ers-Nets meetings and I much prefer to play sides than totals.
