The Brooklyn Nets (17-49, 8-26 away) and the Philadelphia 76ers (35-31, 18-16 home) come into Saturday afternoon’s game missing key pieces. The 76ers will be down star guard Tyrese Maxey (finger). Joel Embiid (oblique) is not ready to return either, and long-term absences of Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow) and Paul George (suspension) are reeling, having lost five of their last seven games. The Nets will be without leading scorer Michael Porter Jr., who has been ruled out with an ankle injury. These teams have played three times this NBA season, and the Sixers lead the series 2-1.

Tipoff is at 1 p.m. ET from Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The latest Nets vs. 76ers odds from DraftKings Sportsbook have Philadelphia as the 8.5-point favorite, while the over/under for total points scored is 217.5.

Top Nets vs. 76ers predictions

After 10,000 simulations of Nets vs. 76ers, SportsLine’s model is going Under on the total (217.5). Both teams are missing significant scoring contributors, so offensive flow could be hard to come by. Brooklyn has seen 53% of its games go Under this season, but that trend is stronger on the road, where the Nets have a convincing 62% Under rate. 

The Nets are projected to have five players score above 10 points. The injury-riddled 76ers are projected to have three players score over 17 points, with VJ Edgecombe leading the way at 23 projected points. The simulations project a total of 212 points being scored, making the Under the play in 59% of simulations.
