October 21, 2021
The opening week of the 2021-22 NBA season goes on Friday, October 22, with ten games on the slate, bringing plenty of interesting NBA picks to the bettors. The Atlantic Division showdown at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia is certainly one of the headliners, as the Kyrie Irving-less Brooklyn Nets take on the Ben Simmons-less Philadelphia 76ers. All the other guys are ready to go, so we’re expecting a great game.
Brooklyn Nets vs Philadelphia 76ers Betting Pick
This game will be played at 7:30 PM ET at Wells Fargo Center
Why bet the 76ers?
✅ Kyrie Irving’s absence should be a bigger blow for the Nets than it’s Ben Simmons’ furlough for the 76ers. It seems like the Nets need to figure it out on both sides of the ball, as they suffered a heavy 127-104 defeat at Milwaukee on the opening night. Brooklyn handed out just 19 assists and shot 44.0 percent from the field while surrendering 13 offensive rebounds. The Sixers are a good rebounding team. They averaged 10.0 offensive boards per contest last regular season. Phila dismantled New Orleans on the road in its season opener, 117-97, shooting 51.8% from the field and handing out 24 dimes.
✅ Joel Embiid is one of the best players in the league when he’s healthy. JoJo played 26 minutes against the Pelicans in the season opener and recorded 22 points, six rebounds, and five assists. He dominated the Nets last regular season, averaging 30.7 points and 11.3 rebounds across three dates with Brooklyn. The Sixers won two of those three tilts, both at home -- 124-108 and 123-117. The Nets struggled to cope with Giannis Antetokounmpo last Tuesday and could be in trouble when they face Embiid and the Sixers.
✅ Kevin Durant and James Harden combined for 52 points in that heavy loss at the Bucks, while Patty Mills went 7-for-7 from deep for 21 points off the bench. The other guys pretty much disappointed, so the 76ers should have the firepower to deal with this Brooklyn team. The 76ers have won nine of their last 11 games against the Nets, going 8-3 ATS in the process. Also, they are 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS in the last six home meetings with Brooklyn.

76ers vs Nets Predictions
76ers vs Nets has been played over two hundred times. There is a noticeable edge going to the 76ers side on the historical split. The more recent years have been quite similar to the historical split. However, the full historical split nor the recent history do not carry a great deal of weight in this matchup. The Nets roster changes are simply too great to put any real weight on history. Looking to the current season, the 76ers arguably carry a better top to bottom roster. History is just one indicator, but it is one piece of the puzzle to avoid for best predictions on 76ers vs Nets.

Nets vs 76ers Against the Spread Predictions
Nets vs 76ers against the spread predictions refer to whether the Nets or 76ers win or lose by the necessary points to cover the spread. The spread is a set number of points the favorite needs to win by or the underdog needs to lose by less than to be considered a wagering winner.
For a hypothetical line, we will use the 76ers -6.5. This means your wager on the 76ers would require them to win by more than six points to be considered a winner. Your wager on the Nets, at +6.5, would require them to either win the game outright or to lose by fewer than seven points to have your wager be considered a winner.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets Over/Under Betting
Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets Over/Under betting is a way of wagering on the contest without needing to pick the team that wins the game. Instead, these wagers are against a set betting total of combined points in the game. This set total is created by the bookmakers. For a hypothetical example, we will use a total set at 226.5 points. Over/Under wagers on this 76ers vs Nets contest would be betting over or under 226.5 combined points for the two teams.
There are many factors to be considered when diving into Over/Under wagering. These factors include pace (expected possessions per game), offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency.
Knowing which teams play faster and slower, and which teams play with a higher and lower level of efficiency at each end of the floor is a large edge when over/under wagering.

Brooklyn Nets vs Philadelphia 76ers Moneyline Predictions
Money Line wagering on NBA is a fun way to bet on one team or the other, while taking the point spread out of play on your wager.
Instead of laying or taking the points on the point spread, you can lay odds on the favorite or take odds on the underdog to simply win the game outright. If you are looking to wager on a game with our best Brooklyn Nets vs Philadelphia 76ers Money Line predictions, a Money Line wager is worth considering. This will allow you to avoid the point spread and simply pick a winner.
For an example of how a Money Line wager differs from an against the spread wager, we will use our 76ers -6.5 hypothetical example from above. Instead of the standard -110 odds on an against the spread bet, you can bet the 76ers to simply win outright while laying odds. You can bet the Nets to win the game outright while getting odds.
In our hypothetical, we would expect to have to lay about -280 on the 76ers and expect to get about +225 on the Nets.
The all-time series has been played to an edge on the 76ers side. Even still, history cannot help as a determining factor on a money line wager in this instance. However, history is just one piece of the puzzle and all other factors need to be considered. The current season’s trends and player availability siding with the Philadelphia 76ers is a helpful indicator. It is more important than history in terms of a betting selection.

76ers vs Nets Odds
The NBA carries the most fluid odds of all the major sports in the United States. We often see a slow release of odds. We also see against the spread, over/under and money line odds all fluctuate, often rapidly throughout a given day leading up to tipoff. The Nets vs 76ers regular season matchup won’t draw a massive betting market from the general public. This means just a handful of large wagers could move the lines significantly in one direction or the other.
Live Streaming Nets vs 76ers
We currently have no sports books in the United States that offer streaming of NBA games. This will certainly change in the future, but for now we are still required to turn to paid streaming services that might have the game you are looking for. For live streaming Nets vs 76ers you are limited to YouTubeTV, FuboTV, Hulu, and of course, NBA League Pass.
