The set-up: The Nets took Game 1, but favored Philadelphia then responded with three straight convincing victories. Brooklyn won't be going down without a fight today though and while I'll stop short in calling for the outright win, all signs point to this one coming down to the wire. The Nets haven't had any issues offensively, but it's been on the defensive side which they've lacked. In Game 1 though they shut down Ben Simmons and company and clearly a similar effort is going to be needed here as well. It's hard to say too many negative things about the 76ers, as they've sure looked a lot better since that Game 1 loss, but consistency from game to game has plagued the team all year and after three straight victories, there's no question that this does set up as a small letdown spot.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but the Nets are 12-5 ATS this season when playing with two days rest and 33-18 ATS in revenging a loss vs. an opponent, while Philadelphia is just 11-12 ATS when playing on two days rest and only 3-13 ATS this year after having won three of its last four games. Grab the points.
