76ers vs Nets prediction NBA · Monday, November 16
At a glance
The Brooklyn Nets (0-4) host the Philadelphia 76ers (4-1) on Monday, November 16 at 7:30 PM ET at Barclays Center in NBA action. The Basketlog model gives the 76ers a 60% chance to win and projects a 113-110 score (76ers – Nets), about 223 total points. This season, the Nets are 0-2 at home and the 76ers are 2-0 on the road. Since the start of the season: 0-4 for the Nets and 4-1 for the 76ers (current streaks: Nets L4, 76ers W1). A close game (margin of 5 points or fewer) happens in only 30% of cases according to the model. Fatigue: the 76ers played the night before (back-to-back). Reported injuries: Jabari Walker (76ers), Tacko Fall (76ers), Dominick Barlow (76ers), Ariel Hukporti (76ers), Egor Demin (Nets) and Tyler Bilodeau (Nets). Prediction confidence: low.
The analysis Model
Slight edge to the 76ers, but the Nets have what it takes to keep it close. The model projects Nets 110 – 113 76ers, a margin of about 3.1 points in favor of the 76ers and a total around 223 points. Expect a game at a standard NBA pace. The 76ers played yesterday: fatigue often shows in the fourth quarter. The Nets will be without Egor Demin or Tyler Bilodeau. The 76ers will be without Jabari Walker or Tacko Fall (and 2 others). Early season: the numbers still lean heavily on last season, so confidence stays cautious.
- The overall strength gap (-8.4 vs +0.7 pts/game) is the main factor.
- The Nets need to win the pace battle to stay in the game.
- The 76ers' offense (114.4 pts/game) is the more productive of the two.
- The 76ers' defense allows clearly fewer points (113.5 pts/game).
