Philadelphia 76ers vs. Brooklyn Nets Analysis

76ers Preseason Puzzle

The Philadelphia 76ers roster has a ton of drama to deal with before the start of their 2023-2024 season. Most of that has to do with James Harden and his future with the team. Harden does not want to play for the 76ers, and the team cannot find a trade partner.

In preseason play, the 76ers have scored enough to win games but cannot seem to get the stops they need. The defense will need to be an emphasis for this team. Outside of Harden, the big numbers, of course, will come from Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Those two are going to need to lead the team in scoring. Embiid led the NBA Stats in scoring last season.

Philadelphia has this game and then one more preseason game against Atlanta before they start the season with back-to-back road games. The 76ers start at the Milwaukee Bucks on October 26th before heading north to take on the Toronto Raptors. The 76ers first home game will take place on October 29th against the Trail Blazers.

Nets Preseason Scoring Stars

The Nets, in their two preseason games, have seen different scoring leaders. Cam Thomas led the way with 26 in the opener, and Mikal Bridges had 23 in Game 2. Noah Clowney, the 19-year-old from Alabama, was strong in Game One, with eight rebounds, while Darius Bazley anchored the way with 14 in the Game 2 win.

Ben Simmons is back with the team and playing. He is owed $37M, so he will need to have quite the season to be worth his contract. He is now 27 years old. Cameron Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith are two guys the Nets will depend on as well, along with Nic Claxton in the paint and the scoring of Bridges.

Brooklyn will play at the Miami Heat on Wednesday to wrap up their preseason play when the regular season tips off; the Nets get Cleveland on October 25th before four straight road games at Dallas, Charlotte, Miami, and Chicago.

The Brooklyn Nets odds this year will have a ton to do with how Simmons plays and is healthy for them, and not on the NBA Injury Report.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Brooklyn Nets Analysis Betting Pick and Prediction

The Philadelphia 76ers are not too concerned about their record in the preseason, but it is always nice to get in the win column and get that feeling of how to win back before the start of the regular season.

Embiid needs a chance to play a little, and expect him to in this game. Embiid and his 33.1 points per game can be a game changer.

The former Kansas Jayhawks star will be 30 this season, and the pressure is on him to get his team to the NBA Finals. But, for now, he is enough to win this preseason game.
