The Philadelphia 76ers invade the Barclays Center to take on the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday afternoon.

Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers needed to get back in the win column after dropping two games in a row and they did just that with a 126-116 road win at Atlanta on Friday. Joel Embiid led the team with 32 points, seven rebounds and eight assists, Tobias Harris added 29 points with 10 rebounds and four assists while Tyrese Maxey chipped in with 19 points and eight assists. As a team, the 76ers shot 48 percent from the field and 13 of 30 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Hawks in a tightly contested first half, before they exploded for 69 points in the second half to pull away and earn the much-needed victory.

Brooklyn Nets

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have won three of their past five games overall, but they will be eager to bounce back in this one after coming up short against the Heat in a 122-115 road loss on Thursday. Mikal Bridges led the team with 23 points, seven rebounds and five assists, Lonnie Walker added 23 points off the bench while Cameron Johnson chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Nets shot 47 percent from the field and 14 of 36 from the 3-point line, but on the defensive end they just had no answer for the Heat's Jimmy Butler who scorched them for 36 points on 12 of 19 shooting. The Nets trailed by as many as 17 points in this one before they made a run in the fourth quarter to keep it to single digits.

Peter's Pick

The Nets are still shorthanded with Ben Simmons out and Dennis Smith Jr listed as questionable, while the 76ers don't have a single player listed on the injury report. The 76ers come into this one as the team in better form, they're at full health and they looked good in their win over the Hawks, while the Nets were building some momentum before they ran into the Heat. The Nets have home court advantage and they haven't played since Thursday, but that's not enough to stop me from taking the 76ers at the short line in this spot.

Peter’s Pick Philadelphia -3.5
