PHILADELPHIA – The Brooklyn Nets will visit the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA preseason for each team’s third game on Monday. Brooklyn is the slight favorite in this matchup.
Betting The Spread: Brooklyn Nets -6.5
Betting on the preseason, in any sport, can be tough as there’s no way to tell how seriously the coaches and players are taking the game. However, with two games having already been played thus far, there’s a little information on which players may play and for how long. In the meeting between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers, online sportsbooks favor the Nets.
Nets Vs. 76ers Spread Odds
- Brooklyn Nets -6.5 -110
- Philadelphia 76ers +6.5 -110
Brooklyn played Kevin Durant, James Harden, Joe Harris, Lamarcus Aldridge, and Blake Griffin for 20+ minutes apiece on Friday and will likely do so again to give the starters some more time on the floor together before the regular season starts next week.
The 76ers are more likely to be cautious with their players and those betting on the NBA preseason should look for any sort of load management news prior to tip-off as the betting line will likely swing in response.
The Nets are one of six undefeated teams in the Eastern Conference and, as long as they continue to play Durant and Harden, should be able to keep winning against teams who are not putting their starters on the court.

Betting The Total: 228.5 Points
While the spread relies more on who is playing, the total is more reliant on how the teams are playing. Through each teams' two preseason games, high-scoring affairs have been common and there’s a fair argument to make that this total is set too low considering their past performances.
Nets Vs. 76ers Total Odds
- OVER 228.5 -110
- UNDER 228.5 -110
Both of Philadelphia’s games have hit this total as their average score is 234 points per game while Brooklyn has gone north of this number in one of their two games and is seeing an average total of 227 points per game. The Nets are notorious for having a high-scoring offense and an awful defense and if that’s the case in the regular season, surely the same can be said for the preseason.
This game can be seen on ESPN2 starting at 8:00 p.m. EST.
