Brooklyn vs Philadelphia: prediction for the NBA match
Will Sixers be able to bag a victory at New York on December 31? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn played their most recent matches without a number of players. Kevin Durant's absence surely affected team's performance, but he should be able to get back into the line-up for the match against the Sixers.
Even with a weakened squad Nets managed to put up a good performance. In two most recent matches they beat the Lakers (122:115) and the Clippers (124:108). James Harden finally managed to showcase his skills. In the previous match The Beard scored 39 points, collected eight rebounds and gave 15 assists.

Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia won their recent matches, but for the most part Sixers were just fortunate. For example, they put up a disappointing performance in the game against Toronto. Canadian club played without a number of key players, but still managed to put up a fight to Philly. Doc Rivers' men won the match by only five points (114:109).
Philadelphia is in a shaky form recently. They suffered a 96:98 defeat to Atlanta not too long ago, despite the absence of Hawks' leader, Trae Young.
Trends

СтавкаJoel Embiid: total under 26,5 points

Tip and bets
Durant's return will improve Brooklyn's performance. Nets were looking great even without him. With Kevin in the line-up Nets will be able to put up a better performance. We don't think that Philadelphia will put up a fight to Philadelphia.
Taking that into account, we think that Nash's men will record a victory by a few points.
Our prediction - Brooklyn to win with a handicap of (-3) points
Two weeks ago Brooklyn recorded a 114:105 victory over Philadelphia at Barclays Center. We are expecting the same result in this game. We don't think that Sixers will be able to put up a high-scoring performance in this match. Teams are unlikely to beat the total of 220,5 points.
Our second bet is on total under 220,5 points
