76ers at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 118, Nets 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The Sixers are 3-1 straight up on the road yet aren't quite worth a play at -164. Pass on the moneyline and play them on the spread.

Against the spread

BET SIXERS -3.5 (-110).

The Sixers have been excellent on the road, posting a 3-1 ATS record, only failing to cover as an 8.5-point favorite in a 114-106 win over the Detroit Pistons. Philadelphia covered its 1st 7 games of the season and has been a strong play.

The Nets don't have many options in guarding Embiid either which could pose a problem for the home side. Down Thomas and Simmons will also limit their offensive arsenal. The Nets are 2-2 ATS over their last 4 games and haven't beaten many contenders this season. Expect the Sixers to trump Brooklyn Sunday.

Take SIXERS -3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 224 (-110).

The 76ers are 3-0-1 O/U in their last 4 games and have scored 126 or more in 3 of those 4. Philadelphia is 7-4-1 O/U. The Sixers sit 3rd in offensive rating with the Nets 23rd in defensive rating.

The Sixers offense should be able to score with ease on a lacking Nets defense. Both teams rank in the top 20 in pace as well. The Nets are 7-5 O/U and 2-0 O/U in their last 2 games. They have scored 115 in 2 straight as well.

Take OVER 224 (-110).
