The Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets will go head-to-head on Saturday afternoon. Today’s game is a good opportunity for Philadelphia to pick up a win after losing 3 of its last 4 games, but covering is a different story. The 76ers currently sit as the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference, 2.5 games behind the sixth seed. With Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey sidelined by injuries, Philadelphia’s reserves will need to step up to keep pace in the East. VJ Edgecombe and Quentin Grimes will be asked to lead this team. Its last win without Embiid and Maxey was against the Memphis Grizzlies last Tuesday.

The Nets have been dealing with injuries of their own. They will be playing without Michael Porter Jr, Nic Claxton and Egor Demin. Despite the injuries, the Nets put together a good effort against Atlanta in their last game. They eventually fell 108-97, but the Nets put together a good effort with 50 bench points. I think Philadelphia can win this game — but with how it has been playing, I am not comfortable backing it to cover. The 76ers have struggled to shoot the 3-point shot lately. In their last game against Detroit, they went 8-for-35 from three. For the season, the 76ers only shoot 35.1% from three, which ranks 20th in the NBA. Both teams are riddled with injuries, so I think the Nets have enough to cover this spread.

Nets vs 76ers prediction: Brooklyn +8.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
