76ers vs Nets Prediction
The Brooklyn Nets aren’t anything special, and they’re still banged up with no Thomas or Russell. The 76ers should be favored and should win this game. However, the 76ers also should be better than their 20-35 record. Along with the Suns, the 76ers have been the most disappointing team in the league, with no wins since February 4 and no covers since February 2. Double-digit chalk with the 76ers is absolutely bonkers if we’re being honest. Also, for what it’s worth, the Nets have won six of their last eight games and have put themselves in somewhat of a shot at the play-in tournament. The Nets also beat the 76ers earlier this month. It doesn’t feel like the Nets are punting on the final stretch of the season. Give me the points with the Nets on the road.
