DraftKings: Take the 76ers to win the series in 6 games
Ben Hall writes: "I can't take the Nets to win the series, but it would not surprise me if they pushed Philly past five games. I think the 76ers win their home games and win the series 4-2. They will have their struggles and I really don't see them pulling off the sweep. Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson have playoff experience, and will lead this team to a few victories. In the end the combination of Joel Embiid and James Harden wins out for the Sixers."
Sixers Wire: Go with the Sixers in 5 games against Nets
Ky Carlin writes: "The Sixers should win this series rather quickly. None of these games figure to be easy due to Brooklyn’s strengths (perimeter scoring) being Philadelphia’s weaknesses, but the Sixers have the best player in this series, Embiid. Philadelphia will continue to lean on the big fella and feed him because the Nets really don’t have anybody to defend him. This should be a quick series overall."
