The Brooklyn Nets are on fire this preseason, and it feels like they’re slowly starting to give some of their key players some minutes. The Nets should be favored with they’ve done up to this point. However, the 76ers have flashed moments as well and are shooting healthy percentages from everywhere on the floor. This is a thick line for a preseason game, and it’s even more tempting when getting this many points with the home team. I’ll take a shot with the 76ers.
