There\u2019s no denying in that. And in the team\u2019s most recent game, the 76ers were bludgeoned by San Antonio in a traumatizing 119-68 loss on Monday. As it stands, the 76ers are on course to finish once again in the bottom of the league standings.<\/p>\n<p>Against the Spurs, Philadelphia offered the usual: a struggling offense paired with a useless defense. The Sixers went just 26-for-75 (34.7%) from the field and just 12-for-21 from the foul line. Jahlil Okafor, the team\u2019s leading scorer this season with 16.9 PPG, was ineffective that night, as he shot 3-for-14 for just 10 points.<\/p>\n<p>Okafor\u2019s bad performance, however, may be partly caused by a recent two-game suspension. Hopefully for the rookie, he\u2019s completely shaken off the rust when he tries to operate inside against Brooklyn\u2019s defense that allows 42.4 points in the paint per game. Versatile forward Robert Covington, meanwhile, has been a spark for the Sixers\u2019 offense of late, as he\u2019s averaging 16.0 points and 3.5 treys on 48.9 FG% over the past four games.<\/p>\n<p>The Sixers\u2019 defense is just as dire as their offense. Philadelphia is 24<sup>th<\/sup> in the league with 103.1 points allowed per contest. Having said that, the Sixers should have an easier time dealing with Brooklyn\u2019s attack than that of San Antonio\u2019s. For one, the Nets are putting up only 95.6 points per game, which is just 28<sup>th<\/sup> in the NBA.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia is 5-1 ATS in its last six road games.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Join TopBet sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and put your own prediction to the test.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Brooklyn Nets (6-15)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BRK.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-86526\" alt=\"Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets Predictions, Picks and Preview\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BRK.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BRK.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BRK-250x182.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After being ripped apart by Golden State on Sunday, the Nets bounced back in a big way, defeating Houston two days later, 110-105.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike in most of their previous games, the Nets had their offense humming against Houston. All five starters scored in double-figures, including Brook Lopez, who had a team-high 24 points on 9-for-14 shooting. Brooklyn entered the game with a 44.1 FG% on the season, but shot 55.6% in the Rockets game. Considering how bad Philadelphia\u2019s defense has been this year, Brooklyn may have another scoring spree later tonight.<\/p>\n<p>The Sixers game also presents Bojan Bogdanovic another opportunity to strut his wares on offense. Bogdanovic has been the biggest beneficiary of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson\u2019s (ankle) absence, as he\u2019s now placed in the starting unit. Bogdanovic played well against Houston, dropping 19 points, including three treys.<\/p>\n<p>Bogdanovic&#8217;s ability to stretch the floor should give Lopez and Thaddeus Young plenty of space in the paint. Young has been a terrific complement for Lopez in the frontcourt, as he\u2019s been producing 15.9 PPG while leading the team in rebounds with 8.9 per game.<\/p>\n<p>Brooklyn will look to control the game against the Sixers by dominating the boards. The Nets are ninth in the NBA with 45.2 RPG and 10<sup>th<\/sup> on the offensive glass with 34.2 ORPG. Furthermore, the Nets are holding opponents to only 10.4 second-chance points per contest.<\/p>\n<p>Brooklyn is 3-1 ATS in its last four games against the Sixers.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Brooklyn wins, 101-91.<\/p>\n[sc:NBA490banner ]\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"86262\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,182&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are the Philadelphia 76ers allergic to winning?
