Nets vs 76ers Props – Best Player Prop Bets on February 6th

• The Brooklyn Nets travel are at the Wells Fargo Center to battle the 76ers on Saturday, Feb 6th
• Kevin Durant did not travel with the Nets to Philadelphia and there is a chance Joel Embiid could miss this one as well
• See the player props available below

Kyrie Irving and James Harden will be in Philadelphia Saturday Night taking on Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid and the 76ers. Kevin Durant did not make the trip due to the NBA’s health and safety protocols.

The Nets were in action last night losing to the Toronto Raptors 123-117 while the 76ers were handed a 121-105 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers in their last game on Friday night.

The 76ers have controlled this series winning three of the last four but it was the Nets that won the last meeting 122-109 back in January. In this matchup, the 76ers are 2.5 point favorites in this matchup and there are plenty of player props to consider.

Embiid is questionable for tonight’s game so we will focus on the Nets’ side of the action in terms of prop bets.

Odds taken Feb. 6th from FanDuel

Joe Harris Is A Walking Bucket

The last eight times the Nets have lost, their following game has gone over the posted total. That is a great trend to exploit given the lack of availability of Kevin Durant for this one. His absence opens up usage for other players and one that sticks out is Joe Harris.

Even if this game does not go over the posted total, it’s still likely that we see 230 points out of both teams. The Nets are always capable of putting up gaudy numbers as they lead the NBA averaging 122 points per game. In their last five games, they have put up at least 120 points in four of them with the lone exception of last night when they hung 117 on the Raptors.

With Durant being out, there is a few more shots to go around which should benefit Harris. He has been extremely efficient this season so he doesn’t need a lot of shots to put up points. In his last four games, he has gone over 14.5 points three times and last night he only needed nine shots to get to 19 points. With Durant out tonight, he could see 13+ attempts from the field.

I loveeeeee this set to get an open three for Joe Harris.

A lot of Harris’ shot attempts come from behind the arc. He has taken at least seven three-pointers in nine his last 10 games. Only nine teams in the NBA are worse at defending the three-point line at home than the 76ers. They are coming of a game where they allowed the Trail Blazers to connect on 41.9% of their long range attempts. Harris could slip through the cracks of the Philadelphia defense tonight.

The Pick: Joe Harris Over 14.5 Points (-122)

James Harden Does It All

James Harden needs no introduction. He is a superstar in every sense of the word. Since coming to the Nets, he has been asked to do more facilitating and less scoring, given the makeup of the roster. This change in role has elevated his peripheral stats, especially his assists.

According to @EliasSports James Harden is the first player to record 10 assists in 9 of his first 10 games with a team since Mark Jackson with the Nuggets in 1996-97.

His assist total tonight is a bit high at 11.5 but his triple double number is worth a look. Harden has recorded a triple-double in two of his last three games and four of his first 10 with his new team. Given the pace tonight’s game projects to be played and the absence of Durant, he could easily go for another triple-double tonight.

The Pick: James Harden To Record A Triple-Double (+300)
