Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets Prediction
So far this year we have seen many avoid the Sixers even when they were spotted an abundance of points. The general reaction by the consensus on the Sixers here is alarming be that it is so rare for many to hop aboard. The market has not caught up to Philly by any stretch. The Sixers’ against the spread record is one of the best in the league. However, when the Sixers have been smothered by most of the public, it immediately alerts us that likely the price is too good to be true. There are a million and one reasons to stay clear of the Nets but they play strong in Brooklyn while Philadelphia struggles on the road. We have seen the Nets hang 126 points on Phoenix in Brooklyn, just five days ago. So when this offense ignites the Over is certainly plausible given the fact the Nets’ defense is Swiss cheese. Swallow the points and play the Over.
Free Pick:
Take Brooklyn -2.5 and Over 211.5
