Sunday NBA sees the two worst teams facing off in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets won’t garner much attention on the national scale, but it makes for a compelling contest in terms of oddsmaking.

If those numbers aren’t uninspiring enough, this group’s offensive efficiency is dead last in the league.
It’s defensive efficiency is much better at 18th, but it’s clearly not enough to make up the difference for such a poor offense.
Against Philadelphia, putting together a successful game plan can actually be tricky. Why is that, you ask? Because there’s no specific blueprint no how to take them down.
The Nets are inconsistent enough that it’s difficult to pin point one specific strategy.

That said, if there’s anything you can point to, it’s pace. If the Sixers can control the pace of the game, and slow things down when necessary, it will take Brooklyn out of its element.
It will also likely prevent sloppy turnovers, in turn preventing easy buckets on the other end.
Brooklyn Nets
Pace is important for the Nets. Brooklyn runs the fastest pace in the league, which is the only reason it scores as many points as it does.
On the year, the Nets score 105.7 points per game, which is good enough for 12th in the Association. The catch, of course, is that they’re 26th in terms of offensive efficiency.

Let me reiterate: This is not a good offensive group; it simply creates enough possessions with its pace to score a decent amount of points.
Hence why pace is so important for this squad on a nightly basis.

Free Philadelphia 76ers vs. Brooklyn Nets NBA Prediction:
Recent trends show that both teams, despite how bad they are, have found recent success against the spread. To the untrained eye, that may be surprising.
But considering how oddsmakers have made them such heavy underdogs this season, it shouldn’t be shocking that an NBA team can constantly overcome large spreads.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: 76ers ATS
This is a dangerous game to pick because of how many different ways things can go; after all, both teams are sporadic on a nightly basis.
That said, there are two things to consider. First, the Sixers’ defense, while far from great, should be enough to contain the Nets’ offense.
Second, Philly has the best player on the floor in Joel Embiid.
Give this one to the Sixers, even if not by a wide margin.
