Staff Prediction

This should be a good matchup between 2 playoff hopefuls in the Eastern Conference. The Nets come into this matchup currently 4th in the Eastern Conference standings. Since the injury to Kevin Durant the Nets have struggled, going 2-5. The 76ers are currently 2nd in the Eastern Conference standings and have won their last 5 games. The 76ers are starting to look like legit contenders to win the East. With how the 76ers are playing, with this game being in Philadelphia, and with Durant being out for Brooklyn, I expect the 76ers to win this one but 6.5 points is a lot to cover vs a good Nets team. Take Brooklyn to at least cover the 6.5. 

Staff Pick BKN ATS (+6.5)
