Randy’s Free Pick
On the end of a back to back or not, there’s no reason the Philadelphia 76ers shouldn’t cruise in this game. The Nets have completely gutted its roster in terms of top tier players, and it has to be a bit of a shock to the rest of the roster who was thinking top playoff seed. I also don’t expect much of a showing from the fans who aren’t pleased. Only a bucket? Give me the 76ers.
