The New Jersey Nets and Philadelphia 76ers square off in a battle of two Eastern Conference teams who are trying to protect their postseason positions. BetOnline.com has the Philadelphia 76ers -9 point favorites against the New Jersey Nets.
Each game is more critical than ever at this time of year in the NBA, and with 11 games slated to tip off today, there is sure to be some change in the standings in both conferences by the end of the weekend. As of Thursday, the Nets were tied with Atlanta for the final spot in the East, which made Wednesday's win over the Hawks that much more important.
After losing six in a row to kick off March, the Nets have won three of four ahead of Friday's meeting with Denver. However, eight of the Nets' remaining 14 games are on the road, where New Jersey is currently 11-22.
The 76ers have been on a roll since March started, winning eight of their first nine games of the month, and have opened up some space between themselves, the Nets and the rest of the East who are within shouting distance of a playoff spot. The backcourt duo of Andre Miller and Andre Igoudala is quietly becoming one of the most lethal in the NBA. The Nets have won three of their last five against the 76ers, including a pair of victories this season. Look for the 76ers to come away with a much-needed win on Saturday, putting even more pressure on the Nets. Get your Free NBA Pick in Now!
