Brooklyn Nets vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction
The Brooklyn Nets continue to lose games and fail to cover numbers, and they’re just not a team I’m excited to get behind. A once covering machine earlier in the season, the Nets are now 22-23-2 ATS on the year. The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a big road win over the Jazz, and now they’re back home where they’re 17-6 SU. Also, the 76ers have won 9 straight games against the Nets and are 7-1-1 ATS in those 9 games. The line is more than reasonable. Give me the 76ers in this spot.
