76ers vs Nets Prediction

The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers have been having a great year and are clearly emerging as a force in the East this season. They are 34-19 overall and have even been good in their road games with a winning 14-11 road record this year. The Nets have also been having a good season as they are 33-22 overall and they have been a good home team too with their 17-10 home record, but they just made a bunch of moves before the trade deadline and now have a completely different team. They got rid of their 2 biggest starters, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, and now it will be hard for them to pick up where they left off when their team has less talent now. The new players are also going to need some time to get used to playing with each other while the 76ers are rolling right now and love beating up on the Nets. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game.

76ers Nets Prediction:  Our NBA Pick for Saturday, February 11, 2023 (6:00 pm ET start time) is 76ers 122 Nets 114.
