Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets prediction

This line is rather surprising when you consider the Philadelphia 76ers have the rest advantage and have won 9 of the last 10 meetings against the Nets. The Brooklyn Nets just can’t string together anything this season. Right when you think the Nets are turning the corner and making a possible playoff push, they lose to the Grizzlies as 10 point favorites. Yes, the 76ers are still dealing with a mountain of injuries, but they have enough to continue their dominance over the Nets. Last night, the Nets showed you for the last time that they’re not serious. I’ll lay the bucket with the road team.
