Brooklyn vs Philadelphia Prediction: the 76ers Will Stop Failing

Philadelphia lost to Toronto and will now face Brooklyn on the road in a back-to-back format. Can Nick Nurse's team bounce back and end their four-game losing streak? We're offering a prediction for this matchup. Let's dive into the bookmakers' odds and pick a few bets at once.

Brooklyn

The Nets suddenly started winning consistently since the beginning of February. So in the previous game at home Jordi Fernandez's team defeated Charlotte (97:86), and for the last six games Brooklyn lost only once - at home New Yorkers failed to cope with Washington (102:119). In addition, during this stretch, the Nets beat Houston twice (110:98 away and 99:97 at home), beat the same Charlotte (104:83) on the road and at Barclays Center coped with Miami (102:86). Now the balance of wins for Brooklyn is 19-34, and in fact the New York team, occupying 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings, is back in the race for the play-in. The gap from the tenth line is only 2.5 wins.

Philadelphia

The 76ers are currently in 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings, and they've been stuck there for a while. Philadelphia hasn't been able to move up into the top 10, even though Chicago, the second-place team in the playoffs, keeps stumbling. Right now, Nick Nurse's team is 1.5 wins behind the Bulls.

The 76ers played yesterday at home against Toronto and lost 103–106. This was their fourth straight loss. At home, the 76ers lost to Miami (101:108), and on the road, they couldn't quite keep up with Detroit (112:125) and Milwaukee (127:135).

H2H Meetings

Philly's won against Brooklyn twice this season, and the season series tied 2-2 last season in the championship.

Stats Betting

• Philadelphia has beaten Brooklyn four times in a row, including regular season and preseason games.
• In 9 of Brooklyn's last 10 games, the total of 212 points hasn't been reached.
• They haven't reached 106 points in 12 of their last 13 games.
• Philadelphia scored more than 107 points in 11 of the last 13 games.

Expert Betting Tips

Philadelphia's got more ambition than Brooklyn this season, so the 76ers aren't too happy with how things are going. The Nets aren't likely to make it into the top ten of the Eastern Conference, and they're not too motivated to win the upcoming game in New York. We think Philadelphia will succeed, break their losing streak, and move closer to the play-in zone. We also think the game will be low-scoring because most of Brooklyn's recent games have been close.
