What to Know

The 76ers are 9-1 against the Nets since December of 2021, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Sunday. The Philadelphia 76ers will head out on the road to face off against the Brooklyn Nets at 3:00 p.m. ET at Barclays Center. The Nets do have the home-court advantage, but the 76ers are expected to win by four points.
