Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Season record: 35-19.
The Philadelphia 76ers were back at the Wells Fargo Center and picked up right where they left off with a 119-108 victory over the New York Knicks, showcasing their formidable team dynamic.
However, they must hit the road once again to face the fifth-ranked team in the Eastern Conference, the Brooklyn Nets. The 76ers have had the upper hand in their last three matchups against the Nets.
While their recent performance on the road has been lackluster, losing their last two games, their overall record on the road this season is still positive with 14 wins and 11 losses.
Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
- Regular Season record: 33-22.
The Brooklyn Nets had high hopes of relying on their star player, Kevin Durant, to boost their recent performance. However, their plans were foiled when KD joined the Phoenix Suns, leaving the team without two of their key players in a matter of days and facing a challenging situation.
Despite this setback, the Nets came out victorious in their most recent game, defeating the Chicago Bulls 116-105. This result continues to solidify their strong record at home, where they have won 17 out of 27 games at the Barclays Center.
With the departure of Durant, the team’s offensive leader, Ben Simmons, who leads the league in assists, must step up and provide better support for the other talented offensive players to prevent the team from struggling against opponents like the Philadelphia 76ers.
JefeBet Prediction
The most recent meetings between these two teams have gone easily for Philadelphia, who have considerably improved their performance away from home this campaign.
The 76ers must try to neutralize Brooklyn by showing the solid defense they have evidenced for most of the campaign, which has them ranked as the third-best franchise in this department (an average of 110.8 points allowed per night).
If they are able to maintain these numbers, they may be able to take one more win in a game where an exaggerated number of points is not expected.
Prediction: Under.
