Philadelphia vs Brooklyn: prediction for the NBA match
In their second NBA match Philadelphia will face Brooklyn on October 23. Will Sixers record a home victory over the Nets? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Philadelphia 76ers
USADoc Rivers' men got off to a successful start of the season. In the first match 76ers recorded an away victory over New Orleans (117:97). Sixers put up a great team performance in this match, no one was a ball hog there, every player did everything to secure a positive result.
Furkan Korkmaz put up a wonderful performance. Turkish player tallied 22 points in just 20 minutes on the floor. Tyrese Maxey also played well in this match. He scored 20 points. Seems like Philadelphia did the right thing, picking up this player at 2020 NBA Draft.
Brooklyn Nets
USABrooklyn failed to impress in the first match. Nets failed to put up a fight in the match against Milwaukee and suffered a 104:127 defeat. Kevin Durant tried to save the game. Nets' leader scored 32 points and collected 11 rebounds. But James Harden didn't support him. The Beard failed to live up to expectations. In 30 minutes on the floor he scored only 20 points, collected eight rebounds and gave eight assists.
It is hard to expect a success from Brooklyn in this match, their players are not looking convincing so far. Blake Griffin, LaMarcus Aldridge and Paul Millsap were leaders of their former teams, but at Brooklyn they are looking like a bunch of veterans.

Tip and bets
Philadelphia put up a better performance in the first match. Though, Sixers had much weaker opponent than Brooklyn. Despite that, we think that Embiid and his partners will be able to record another victory. Nets are not so successful at Pennsylvania.
In the previous season 76ers recorded two victories over Nets. Philadelphia also beat Brooklyn in seven most recent home games. Looks like Doc Rivers' men are better prepared for the new season, so they have a chance for another victory.
Our prediction - Philadelphia to win (Including OT)
We think that Philadelphia will slow the game down. Embiid is able to provide a good defensive performance under the own rim, so Durant and his partners won't feel themselves comfortable. In the game against Milwaukee Nets scored only 104 points. We are not expecting a better performance from them in the second match.
Our second bet is on total under 232,5 points
