Brooklyn Nets developing the youngest roster in the NBA
The Brooklyn Nets entered the season with the youngest roster in the NBA and have experienced plenty of growing pains. The Nets have plenty of draft capital in the future and could have $50 million dollars in cap space to spend this offseason. Brooklyn ranks last in the league in offensive efficiency by Hollinger's NBA Team Statistics and averages less than 113 points per contest. The Nets have lost 26 of their first 34 road games and own the third worst record in the Eastern Conference. On Thursday, Brooklyn committed 20 turnovers during a 108-97 road loss against Atlanta.
Michael Porter Jr. has flourished in his first season in Brooklyn and is averaging a career-high 24,2 points per game. Porter Jr. also leads the Nets with 7.1 rebounds. Noah Clowney (12.8 ppg) and Nic Claxton (12.0 ppg) provide versatility on defense while adding adequate scoring punch. Rookie G Egor Demin is scoring 10.3 ppg for the Nets.

Philadelphia banged up and falling fast in the standings
The Philadelphia 76ers missed the playoffs last season and have not appeared in the Eastern Conference Finals since 2001. The 76ers showed some flashes earlier this season, but Paul George is serving a long suspension for violating the league’s drug policy and other starters have been injured. Philadelphia ranks in the middle of the pack offensively by Hollinger's NBA Team Statistics and is scoring 115.8 points per game. The 76ers are two games above .500 at home and are tied with Atlanta for eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings. On Thursday, Philadelphia missed 27 of 35 three-point attempts during an ugly 131-109 road loss against Detroit.
All-Star G Tyrese Maxey leads Philadelphia in scoring (29.0 ppg), assists (6.7 apg), and steals (2.0 spg). Joel Embiid ranks second on the team in scoring (26.6 ppg), but has appeared in just 33 games. Rookie G V.J. Edgecombe is averaging 15.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists. Quentin Grimes (13.0 ppg) is a sniper off the bench and is one of seven Philadelphia players scoring in double figures.

Brooklyn vs Philadelphia Pick
Brooklyn vs Philadelphia Spread Pick
- Pick: Brooklyn Spread
Philadelphia took the first two meetings against Brooklyn, but the Nets won the most recent game by a 114-106 final score. The Nets are 14-19-1 ATS on the road, while the 76ers are 15-19 ATS at home this season. Philadelphia is too banged up at the moment to warrant being a double-digit favorite. Take the Nets to cover on the road.
Brooklyn vs Philadelphia Over/Under Pick
- Pick: Under
Despite having a youthful roster, Brooklyn plays at the second slowest tempo in the league. Philadelphia does not play as fast with Tyrese Maxey sidelined and currently ranks 17th in tempo. The Nets’ offensive woes have been well documented and the 76ers are missing too many key offensive pieces. Take the under.
