The set-up: The 18-59 Brooklyn Nets will visit Philadelphia to take on the 28-49 76ers, as the teams conclude their season series (76ers have won each of the first three meetings). The Nets finished February with their 16th straight loss to fall to 9-49 but they are a respectable 9-10 since the start of March and are coming off wins in both contests of a two-game homestand over the weekend. The Sixers lost 113-105 in Toronto on Sunday, their third straight defeat, as they come to the end of another 'lottery' season. Brooklyn: Center Brook Lopez (20.8 & 5.4) led the way by scoring 30 points in Saturday's 121-111 win over Orlando and then added another 29 points in a 91-82 triumph over Atlanta on Sunday. PG Jeremy Lin (13.7 & 5/1 APG) chipped in 15 points, six rebounds and six assists against Atlanta, and he and Lopez have fueled Brooklyn's relative hot streak. Since returning from a hamstring injury after the All Star break, the Nets are 8-12 in games that Lin has played in. They are 11-21 (.344) in the 32 games he's played in this season which may not sound like much, until one notes that the Nets are 7-38 (.156) in games he hasn't played in! Philadelphia: The 76ers lost Robert Covington and Jahlil Okafor for the season to knee injuries last week, after earlier seeing Joel Embiid (knee) and Jerryd Bayless (wrist) ruled out for the year as well. Of course, the top overall pick in the 2016 draft (Ben Simmons), has been out for the entire season after breaking a foot in training camp. "We are kind of just dropping like flies, man," point guard T.J. McConnell told Philly.com on Sunday. "We are just giving new opportunities to new guys. We have to continue to play hard. You'd be surprised in the month of April what playing hard will do for you." The pick: No doubt that the Nets are playing their best ball of the season and will be motivated to avoid a series sweep at the hands of the 76ers but I've been riding Philly lately and ahas rewarded its backers to the tune of going ATS its last . Make Philadelphia a 10* play.
