NBA FREE BETTING TIP: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Brooklyn Nets

Details:

Before the trade deadline, the Philadelphia 76ers sent Ben Simmons, Seth Curry and Andre Drumond to Brooklyn in exchange for James Harden and Paul Millsap.

James Harden has found his sport with the Sixers and has definitely made the team better while Ben Simmons is still not ready to make his debut for the Nets.

The Sixers are currently third in the East with a 40-24 record. They have won 6 of the last 7 games and are coming off a 121-106 win over the Chicago Bulls in a game in which Joel EMbiid scored 43 points and James Harden recorded 16 points and 14 assists.

The Sixers are 6-7 against division opponents. Philadelphia scores 108.5 points while outscoring opponents by 2.4 points per game.

Joel Embiid is scoring 29.7 points per game and averaging 11.2 rebounds for the 76ers. Tyrese Maxey is averaging 2.4 made 3-pointers over the last 10 games for Philadelphia.

The Sixers are  8-2 in the last 10 games, averaging 112.2 points, 41.8 rebounds, 22.8 assists, 7.6 steals and 4.4 blocks per game while shooting 45.3% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 107.8 points per game.

The Brooklyn Nets failed to 8th place in the East after losing 11 straight games. Now with Kevin Durant back in the lineup, the rainy days are over in BKY. The Nets are currently at a 33-33 record, 5.5 games behind a spot that leads straight to the playoffs.

The Nets snapped a four-game losing streak with a 132-121 win over the Charlotte Hornets with Kyrie Irving scoring 50 points.

The Nets are 7-6 against opponents in the Atlantic Division. Brooklyn is 7-2 in games decided by less than 4 points.

The Nets are 4-6 in the last 10 games, averaging 111.9 points, 41.5 rebounds, 23.9 assists, 5.9 steals and 4.3 blocks per game while shooting 46.5% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 116.2 points.

Key facts

• Paul Millsap is listed as day to day for the Sixers
• Ben Simmons, LaMarcus Aldridge and Joe Harris are out for the Nets
• The Sixers have won 3 of the last 5 games against the Nets

The Brooklyn Nets are in eighth place in the conference but with Kevin Durant back they will go in only one direction. With KD and Kyrie Irving who still plays only in road games, the Nets are a dangerous team. Seth Curry and Andre Drummond fit well with the Nets and tonight will be back for the first time to face the Sixers. James Harden is also ready to face the Nets and will probably have a good performance. Anyway, everything will depend on the top two scorers in the league, Joel Embiid and Kevin Durant. Embiid has been amazing this season but still hasn't faced the Nets in full force. Brooklyn has a lot of making up to do and this game may be a real boost. This will be a tight one and I suggest placing a bet on +6.5 points on the Nets.
