Nets vs 76ers Preview
The 76ers are a perfect 6-0 against the Nets this season, and Brooklyn is on an eight-game playoff losing streak that dates back to a 2021 second-round series against the Bucks. The Nets have never come back from an 0-2 deficit in a seven-game series in franchise history, but if they’re going to have any chance of making this series interesting, they’ll almost certainly need a win on Thursday.
Nets vs 76ers Prediction
The 76ers came out slow in Game 2. The same thing probably won’t happen again in Game 3. Brooklyn’s playoff losing streak continues. Pick: 76ers -5

Nets vs 76ers Betting Trends
Mikal Bridges has been phenomenal since joining the Nets and will carry the scoring and creation load for Brooklyn’s offense. However, the 76ers have a chip on their shoulder and will be looking to make a statement in Game 1.
I would expect Philadelphia to come out strong and put this one away early, leaving the Nets to wait for some complacency to really make their challenge later in the series.
