76ers vs Nets Prediction
I don’t want to lay so many points with a 76ers roster you’re never sure who is going to play night to night. The Nets are also playing decent ball right now. However, the 76ers are 17-9-1 ATS on the season. At some point you just stop paying attention to the injury report and the mess, and you just back the 76ers blindly. The 76ers are the best cover team in the NBA in terms of percentage. Also, we know the Nets will go back to living in the suck. That train is never late. Big number, but I’ll ride with the cash cows that is Philly.
