76ers vs. Nets Pick
76ers vs. Nets Spread Pick
- 76ers (4 units)
Brooklyn has been brutal on the defensive end of the floor this season so far and it’s telling when allowing 117 points is your best defensive showing in the early going. Three times already this year, the Nets have surrendered at least 131 points, which is cause for concern. Brooklyn is dead last in field goal percentage defense (52.3%), 24th in threes per game (15.2) allowed and last in three-point defense (44.7%) on the year. Philadelphia was on a roll before getting dropped by Boston in their previous game. The 76ers are a fairly deep team, even without George and McCain in the mix. Philadelphia takes advantage of Brooklyn’s defensive issues and pick up the road win here.
