\"The
The Philadelphia 76ers are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games on zero days rest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Brooklyn has won and covered the spread in three consecutive games, including a 93-90 victory over the Atlanta Hawks as 3.5-point road underdogs last Saturday, while going UNDER the total in each of those contests.\u00a0 \u201cWhen we\u2019re that focused and play with that much attentiveness\u2014we can be a really good basketball team,\u201d stated Nets coach P.J. Carlesimo.\u00a0 The Nets are 16-13 overall on the road this season, including a 12-8 mark versus Eastern Conference foes.\u00a0 Brooklyn is 3-1 ATS as road favorites of 3.5 to 6 points this season, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your NBA expert picks Monday night.<\/p>\n

The Nets recent success can be attributed to the offensive play of point guard Deron Williams, who is averaging 23.1 points per game since the All-Star break.\u00a0 He has scored 20-plus points in four of its last five games and 19 times overall this season.\u00a0 Brooklyn has held 38 of its first 63 opponents under 100 points in regulation and is 29-10 in those games.\u00a0 With a victory in this affair, the team would pick up its fourth consecutive road win against the 76ers.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia has dropped its last five games, including a 99-91 setback to the Orlando Magic as one-point road favorites Sunday, while going UNDER the posted total of 193.5.\u00a0 \u201cNot every team is going to have a good season,\u201d commented 76ers forward Thaddeus Young.\u00a0 The 76ers have struggled on the offensive end in their last 16 games, averaging 89.0 points on 42.5 percent shooting in that span.\u00a0 Philadelphia is 2-3 ATS as home underdogs of 3.5 to 6 points this season, with the OVER going 3-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The 76ers are 17-16 overall at the Wells Fargo Center, including a 10-9 mark versus conference rivals.\u00a0 Philadelphia point guard Jrue Holiday will need to put together a special performance in this affair, as he\u2019s averaging 21.5 points and 8.5 assists versus the Nets this season.\u00a0 Holiday is the only player in the league averaging at least 18.0 points and 8.0 assists.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Nets due to their 8-3 ATS mark on the road in this series, while the 76ers are 6-20 ATS on zero days rest.<\/p>\n
