The Brooklyn Nets are not often asked to cover points, but they find themselves a sizable favorite at home to the lowly Sixers tonight. This is a great opportunity for Brooklyn to have a feel good moment in front of the home fans at the Barclay Center. My money is on the Nets to pile on here against a hapless opponent.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Sixers have lost nine of their last 10 overall, failing to cover in seven of those 10 contests. The one win came at home against the Nets, and this sets us up for a revenge spot here in Brooklyn. The Nets have been good when seeking revenge, covering the spread in seven of their last eight when coming off an ATS loss.

2. Injuries - Robert Covington and Jerami Grant combined to score 19 points in the win over Brooklyn on Saturday, but the two collided late in that game, and Covington was taken off on a stretcher. Neither player will play tonight, and they are already without Jahlil Okafor who is done for the season.

3. X-Factor - The home team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.

Selection: This is a play on the Brooklyn Nets (10*)
