We’ll update you as much as we can, but those decisions will come from coaches prior to tip off and even if Joel Embiid does play, which isn’t expected, he likely won’t get many minutes. With the status of so many up in the air, the Nets are 3.5-point favorites to beat Philly for the first time this season.

Also unavailable was the 76ers’ 3rd leading scorer, Tyrese Maxey, although he’s been out for two games and is nursing a neck injury. Even without any of those players, Philly still managed to take out Atlanta. Georges Niang and Jalen McDaniels led the way with 24 points each.
Philly has the leg up in the head-to-head with Brooklyn this season, taking all three matchups. Don’t let that 3-0 mark fool you though, every contest has been within single digits. and the Nets are the favorites in the NBA odds for this one.

Make sure you’re watching for who will be in and out as this game gets closer to start time. The betting line will likely move depending on who is confirmed to play and who will be sitting out.
Against Atlanta on Friday, Philly’s depth players showed they can more than hold their own, defeating a Hawks team that was actually playing for positioning in the play-in tournament. Our prediction is that the 76ers bench crew keeps it very tight in this one, so take the 76ers to cover.
Pick: Philadelphia 76ers +3.5 (-110)
