The 76ers look to finish their first-round tasks against the Brooklyn Nets as quickly as possible, and tonight’s win is a must for Doc Rivers’ crew.
Before Betting on the Nets vs. 76ers
Brooklyn didn’t stand a chance in the series’ opening game, even though they shot 55.7% from the field. Though 19 turnovers were something the guests couldn’t afford, and it was obvious that they lacked not only playoff experience but a much better status with the officials.
Mikal Bridges dropped 30 points, while Cam Johnson scored 18, combining 19-for-29 from the field. Spencer Dinwiddie had 14 buckets, while Nic Claxton scored five with 10 boards.
On the other side, the hosts sunk 21 three-pointers in 43 shots, which is a fantastic 48.8% of shooting. The Sixers didn’t need anything else but that to beat the rivals, so Joel Embiid had a subpar game for his standards, 26 points and five boards.
James Harden made seven threes in 12 attempts for 23 points, and the Beard dished 13 assists as well. Tyrese Maxey had 13, while Tobias Harris performed very well with 21 buckets.

The Nets were shooting superbly and still couldn’t lose within a decent margin. Yes, the Sixers, also had an unreal 3-point night, but still, they played with plenty of reserves. We don’t expect to see them win by less than 10 points, a spread set by most bookmakers.
