On January 25, 2023, the NBA will feature a top-notch showdown in the Eastern Conference when the Nets vs 76ers meet in Philadelphia.
The 76ers are in their best shape so far, as they are coming off a five-game winning streak on the road against the Western Conference. The Lakers, the Clippers, the Kings, the Trail Blazers, and the Jazz were the victims of the team led by Cameroon’s Joel Embiid. The Nets, on the other hand, are coming into this game with two consecutive victories, and at least for the moment, they have managed to calm things down a bit without the presence of Kevin Durant (he’s injured).

Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
- Regular Season Record: 29-17
After a streak of four consecutive losses, the Brooklyn Nets managed to defeat the Suns and the Warriors to stem the bleeding caused by the absence of their star player, Kevin Durant.
Kyrie Irving comes into this game fired up for the 76ers, thanks to a streak of three consecutive games scoring at least 30 points. In nine games played in January, he has averaged 28.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Collectively, the Nets are first in the NBA in blocks per game, averaging 7. They also stand out in field goal shooting percentage, as they are second in the league with 50.8%.
Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Regular Season Record: 30-16
The Philadelphia 76ers have been absolutely on fire in recent weeks, which has allowed them to move from 5th to 2nd place in the Eastern Conference.
Joel Embiid continues to deliver a spectacular performance in each of his appearances: on January he has averages of 35.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, and 56.9% shooting from the field. James Harden is also being decisive, and his 11.3 assists per game rank first in that category in the NBA.
Collectively, the 76ers stand out in three-point percentage per game with 38% (fourth in the NBA) and in steals per game, with an average of 8 per game (sixth in the league).
JefeBet Prediction
In the only previous meeting between the teams this season, the 76ers won by a score of 115-106 in a game without Joel Embiid, James Harden, and Tyrese Maxey. The big attraction of that matchup was the return of Ben Simmons to face Philadelphia for the first time since he was traded to Brooklyn, and, of course, the booing came instantaneously.
Considering that the 76ers have their entire roster available and that the Nets are still without Kevin Durant, we anticipate another win for Doc Rivers’ team, which will extend their current winning streak to six in a row.
Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers Spread.
