Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction 2/12/25 NBA Picks

The Brooklyn Nets play host to the Philadelphia 76ers at the Barclays Center on Wednesday night. Here’s a Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction. This article will include a Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets Pick.

The Philadelphia 76ers have been in a real slump as they've lost six of their last seven games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a four-game skid after getting beaten by the Raptors in a 106-103 loss last night. Joel Embiid led the team with 27 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists, Jared Butler added 15 points off the bench while Paul George chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the 76ers shot just 40 percent from the field and nine of 38 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and looked to be in control when they poured in 34 points in the second quarter to take the lead into halftime, but the game was there to win until the 76ers went scoreless in the final 1:48 to allow the Raptors to sneak away in a close finish. 

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in fine form as they've won five of their last six games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight win after taking down the Hornets in a 97-89 home win on Monday. Nic Claxton led the team with 16 points on eight of 13 shooting, Day'Ron Sharpe and Cameron Johnson scored 14 points each while Trendon Watford chipped in with 13 points and four assists off the bench. As a team, the Nets shot just 39 percent from the field and 10 of 42 from the 3-point line, but this win was more about their defense as they restricted the Hornets to just 16 points in the third quarter to lead by as many as 22 points before they rested their starters early. 

Why the Brooklyn Nets will win

• The Nets have won each of their last four games as underdogs.
• The 76ers have lost each of their last six road games following a loss.
• The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six road games following a loss.
• The Nets have covered the spread in each of their last four games against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

• The Nets have lost 13 of their last 14 games against Atlantic Division opponents following a win.
• The 76ers have won each of their last eight games as road favorites when playing with a rest disadvantage.
• The Nets have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine home games against Atlantic Division opponents following a win.
• The 76ers have covered the spread in seven of their last eight games against the Nets following a loss.

The 76ers are still missing a couple of players with Eric Gordon and Kyle Lowry ruled out, while the Nets are keeping an eye on Nic Claxton who is questionable with a right ankle sprain. The 76ers are tempting at the short line as they have a clear edge in talent when you compare the two rosters. However, the Nets come into this meeting as the team is in better form and the 76ers will be playing on zero days rest, so I will go with the Nets to pull off the minor upset at home in this spot.
