The spot sets up well for the 76ers catching the Nets off their finest game of the season. Brooklyn just upset the Kings, 128-119, at home Friday night shooting a season-high 55.8 percent from the floor and a stunning 18 of 28 (64%) from 3-point range.

Despite these numbers, the Nets rank 28th in scoring and are 22nd in 3-point shooting. The Nets' 43.7 field goal percentage on the road would rank 29th if it included all of their games.

Brooklyn is 0-5 SU, 1-4 ATS in its last five games. They are 3-15 in its last 18 games. The Nets have a better record than the 76ers, but I like Philadelphia's young talent much better. The 76ers also have a better bench for one of the rare times. Only twice all season have the Nets captured back-to-back games the last time coming nearly two months ago.

The Nets are going to be fat and happy here. This is their lone road matchup during an eight-game span. They just were home for three games and then go back to Brooklyn for four more games following this matchup.

The 76ers have covered four of the last five times when going against a sub .500 foe. The last time they played an opponent this bad was five games ago when they beat the Suns at home, 113-103. The 76ers then nearly upset the Warriors in their next home game losing at the buzzer. After that near miss they fell flat against the Hawks at Wells Fargo Center and didn't play well in a road loss to the Wizards last night. So Philly should be fired-up here.
