It's easy to envision a high scoring game here after the 76ers buried the Nets, 145-123, on Monday in Game 2.

But there is one key factor to consider: Jared Dudley is expected to play for the Nets. He missed Monday's game because of a sore calf. Dudley played in Game 1 and the Nets upset the 76ers, 111-102, with that total going Under by 13 1/2 points. Dudley's defense on Ben Simmons was huge in that Game 1 win for the Nets as Simmons could manage just nine points.

Simmons posted a triple/double in Game 2 without Dudley to hound and frustrate him.

Prior to Monday's loss to Philadelphia, Brooklyn had given up an average of 97.3 points in its last three games. The Nets have gone Under in six of their last seven home games.

The Nets are sure to have their defensive intensity going as this is their first home playoff game since 2015.

It would be a huge added bonus for the Under if Joel Embiid can't go for the 76ers. Embiid is dealing with a sore knee.
