The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 4 of a 7-game series between the 3rd seeded 76ers and the 6th seeded Nets for the 1st round of the playoffs in the NBA Eastern Conference. The 76ers enter this game with a 3-0 series lead and they have a chance to end it with a win in Brooklyn. They just pulled off a really close road win by 5 points but now that the Nets are in a 3-0 hole here, it is all over for them trying to pull off a comeback. They are going to be demotivated in this game and the 76ers will be able to take advantage of their desperation to win this game soundly and get some rest for the next series ahead. The 76ers were great in road games all season with their 25-16 road record and they have been too much for the Nets to handle all year. The Nets don't have enough talent on their team after trading away all of their stars and the 76ers will have no trouble disposing of them here. The 76ers will sweep the Nets in this series and use that momentum to propel themselves in the next round. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game.
