Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 23. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Philadelphia 76ers

The team has already played the first match after the restart of the regular season. On their court, Philadelphia hosted Boston and expectedly lost - 104:124. The team had another weak meeting, making only 23 assists and losing the board cleanly - 44:49 in rebounds.

The Phils have a total of six straight losses. Prior to Boston, the 76ers lost at home to Miami (101:108) and Toronto (103:106), and on the road they failed against Milwaukee (127:135), Detroit (112:125) and their closest rival Brooklyn (96:100). Philadelphia is still 11th in the Eastern Conference standings and just 1.5 wins behind the top-10.

Brooklyn Nets

The Nets have an identical balance with Philadelphia - 20-35. Accordingly, the team is also just 1.5 wins behind the Eastern Conference play-in zone. Does Brooklyn, which has a very young roster, need it? Unlike Philadelphia, not likely.

That said, the Nets have been doing great lately. Yes, in the first game after the MVP break, the New York team lost at home to Cleveland (97:110), but before that they had six wins in seven games. Standing out in this stretch, of course, is the double blow to one of the leaders of the Western Conference Houston - 110:98 away, 99:97 at home.
