The 76ers haven’t won much, but they did have a 95-89 win over the Nets on Friday. Brooklyn has now lost four straight and is just 2-4 against the spread in those six games. The Nets are just 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 conference games and 7-15-1 ATS in their last 23 at home. Philadelphia has played well against some of the bottom tier teams lately, going 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a win percentage below .400. While the Nets should win, giving them 7.5 points against anyone seems dangerous.
