76ers Eliminate the Nets

(April 22, 2023) - The Philadelphia 76ers have advanced to the next round after eliminating the Brooklyn Nets in four games for the sweep.  The Sixers had covered in six straight games as well.  This win was 96-88 with Philadelphia a -6 point favorite early on, then to -2.

The 76ers line drop to -2 was a result of the absence of their star Joel Embiid.

The sweep was historic too. Philadelphia swept a best-of-seven series for the first time since defeating Milwaukee in the second round in 1985.

Tobias Harris scored 14 of his 25 points in the second half.  Reserve De'Anthony Melton scored all 15 of his points in the fourth quarter.

Next up for the Sixers, either No. 2 Boston Celtics or the No. 7 Atlanta Hawks.

76ers-Nets Game 4

(April 22, 2023) - Brooklyn is once again the home dog.  They opened at +6 and this one quickly was brought down to +2.  It could be that their backs are up against the wall as elimination might happen this evening.  Philadelphia is up 3-0 in the series.

76ers’ Joel Embiid is apparently worth four points as he'll be out for Game 4. Embiid is out for this one with a sprained knee.

The NBA’s leading scorer did block a shot to protect a two-point lead with 8.8 seconds left and said after the game he was OK.

"It's not frustrating," Embiid said Thursday, before the report of his knee sprain. "Obviously, they have a game plan. It doesn't matter who's guarding me. It doesn't matter if it's the big man or the smaller guys. As we saw, as soon as I close out, they're just sending the double team or the triple teams.

"There's really nothing I can do but make plays for my teammates and that's fine. It's the playoffs. We got to do whatever it takes to win."

76ers-Nets Game 3

The 76ers enter Game 3 of the NBA Playoffs series versus Brooklyn as a -4.5 road favorite.  They are also 2-0 in this series and have won their last four.  Philadelphia has covered in their last two games of this series.

Once again, we have an overlay as the number comes in at Philadelphia -1.25.

Joel Embiid is averaging 23 points in the two games in this series.

Nets-76ers Game 2

(April 17, 2023) - Philadelphia easily covered the 8.5 spread in this one with a 121-101 win.  Joel Embiid had 26 points, James Harden added 23 points and 13 assists.

Tobias Harris contributed 21 points for the Sixers, who will host Game 2 on Monday as a -10 point favorite now.  We have the line at Sixers 6.3, so more than ever we're thinking Brooklyn should cover the spread in this one.

This marks five straight in the series for Philadelphia.  The last two have not been close.  The previous three have been within the current spread.  In fact, using the current number, Brooklyn would be 8-2 Against The Spread in the last ten meetings between the two teams.

Nets-76ers Game 1

(April 15, 2023) - The Philadelphia 76ers are set to begin their Playoff series against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday April 15 at 1 pm ET.  The 76ers open this series as a -8 to 8.5 favorite.  That number was still in play as of Saturday morning. Be careful, our number is Philadelphia -5.83 with the 76ers at home and just -0.63 in Brooklyn

If you don't mind paying top price, a moneyline wager could be in order here.  Since the start of the 2014 playoffs, NBA first-round home favorites of 8.5 points or more are 39-1 straight up and 22-18 Against The Spread.  This game just meets the criteria with the line coming in at 8.5 early at a number of books.
