The Brooklyn Nets are continuing to find their way offensively with Kevin Durant sidelined, and Kyrie Irving has done a great job of making that happen. These are two top Eastern Conference teams that will be taking the court against each other, and with Philly’s Joel Embiid questionable, that certainly is news to keep an eye on. Both teams enter on a winning note, with the Nets on a five-game winning streak and the 76ers having won their last two games.

Brooklyn has passed the test of playing without Durant with flying colors. It did take a few games, but Kyrie Irving has been up to the task. The guard is coming off a 38-point performance in his last game, and over his last four, he’s averaging 32.8 points per game. Irving handling the ball has worked out well for the Nets, and they have adjusted well to Ben Simmons playing off the ball.
Philadelphia is built around James Harden and Joel Embiid, but there is some cause for concern as the latter is dealing with a foot injury. After resting on Sunday, Embiid was not much of a participant in practice on Tuesday. His absence would certainly be felt by the 76ers. It is for that reason, along with Brooklyn’s hot streak, that we’re backing them to pull off the upset for the best bet from our Nets vs. 76ers NBA predictions.
Tonight will likely be a tight game between two strong Eastern Conference title contenders, and while both have superstars nursing injuries, the Nets are better equipped to deal with that. It will also be a homecoming, if you want to call it that, for Ben Simmons. While the scoring still isn’t there for Simmons, he contributes both with rebounds and assists, which has been essential for the Nets.
Replacing Embiid should be more difficult for Philadelphia, and that is where the Nets take the edge. Nic Claxton has emerged as a strong post presence for Brooklyn, and they should be able to slow Harden and any penetration that the 76ers look to do. That should be enough to make our Nets vs. 76ers NBA predictions on Brooklyn’s money line come to fruition.
