Nets vs 76ers Prediction
I don’t want to back the 76ers as much as the next guy, and I’ve bashed this team all season. Even while getting healthier, the 76ers have lost six of their last seven games. The 76ers lost last night at home to the Raptors. With that said, the Nets aren’t a good team, they’re banged up, and they’re 8-17 SU at home. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy and the 76ers need to take advantage of games like this to gain ground in the standings. It’s a must-win, especially right before the break. This could be a confidence-boosting win or another soul-snatching loss. I don’t have a lot of confidence in the 76ers, but even they should win this game. I’ll lay the bucket.
