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

Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview 

The Philadelphia 76ers have been doing it tough as they’ve lost four of their last six games and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting smashed by the Magic in a 144-103 loss on Tuesday. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 20 points on seven of 15 shooting, Jared McCain added 15 points off the bench, while Justin Edwards chipped in with 13 points.

As a team, the 76ers shot 45 percent from the field and nine of 25 from the 3-point line, but they had no answers for the Magic on the defensive end, especially in the second quarter where the 76ers allowed a season-high 51 points. Quentin Grimes had a poor game as he shot just one of nine for his eight points, while Johni Broome scored just four points on two of nine shooting.

Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have struggled to get anything going this season as they’ve dropped 14 of their first 17 games and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting routed by the Knicks in a 113-100 loss on Monday. Noah Clowney drained seven 3-pointers to lead the team with 31 points on nine of 17 shooting, Michael Porter Jr added 16 points while Drake Powell chipped in with 15 points but no other player finished in double figures in scoring.

As a team, the Nets shot just 38 percent from the field and 14 of 48 from the 3-point line as they got off to a decent start and hung tough with the Knicks in the first half. But that all changed in the third quarter where they allowed the Knicks to pour in 38 points to trail by as many as 19 points.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction

The 76ers are still missing Joel Embiid, Adem Bona, Kelly Oubre Jr and Trendon Watford, while the Nets are still without Cam Thomas and Haywood Highsmith. The 76ers have really been struggling lately with injuries piling up and they just got humbled by the Magic in a big loss on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Nets came to life with two surprise wins before falling back down to Earth against the Knicks on Monday. You really couldn’t back either side with any confidence at all, but surely this is a game the 76ers can win behing a big game from Maxey. The line is short enough, so I will lean with the 76ers to get the much-needed win at home.
