Brooklyn Nets vs Philadelphia 76ers Free Pick
The Brooklyn Nets came into this season with championship aspirations having Kevin Durant. They had an impressive season, but both their stars have since left, leaving behind only a crew of above-average role players looking for success. They may not match up well against Harden and Embiid-led 76ers, but they found ways to keep games close last time out. Philadelphia is the clear NBA best pick to win the game.
Free Pick: Philadelphia 76ers -10 (-105)
