The Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers meet Sunday in NBA action at the Wells Fargo Center. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Nets vs 76ers prediction.
Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets have been in decent shape as they've won six of their last 10 games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back here after coming up short to the Knicks in a 111-107 road defeat on Friday. Cam Thomas led the team with 41 points and six assists, Trendon Watford added 17 points with 13 rebounds and three assists while Lonnie Walker chipped in with 15 points off the bench. As a team, the Nets shot 50 percent from the field and 11 of 32 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates to an early 17-point lead, only to get burned by 30-13 in the third quarter to allow the Knicks to snatch the game from them in the end.
Philadelphia 76ers
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers are looking to cap off their season with an eighth straight victory after routing the Magic in a 125-113 win on Friday. Joel Embiid led the team with 32 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists, Tyrese Maxey added 28 points while Kelly Oubre Jr chipped in with 21 points and nine rebounds. As a team, the 76ers shot 47 percent from the field and 18 of 37 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 40 points in the first quarter and were always in control after taking an early 17-point lead.

- Tobias Harris ranks 5th in the Eastern Conference amongst qualified players for FT% (87.7%) this season.
Matchup/League Facts
- The 76ers rank 1st in the league for opponent steals per game this season (6.1).
- The 76ers rank 1st in the league for free throws made per game this season (19.6).
- The Nets rank 30th in the league for opponent free throw percentage this season (80.8%).
- The Nets rank 28th in the league for field goal percentage this season (45.7%).
Nets vs 76ers prediction
The Nets are still missing a host of players including Cameron Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith and Dennis Schroder to name a few, while the 76ers are keeping eyes on KJ Martin, Joel Embiid and De'Anthony Melton who are all questionable. The Nets were playing some decent basketball before they got stopped by the Knicks in their last outing, but nothing compared to how good the 76ers have been recently, especially with some key players returning from injury. The Nets are capable of hanging around in this one, but the 76ers are one of the hottest teams in the league right now, and I think they get the big win behind a big game from Maxey.
