The Nets started this series with a stunning 111-102 road win in Game 1 as 7.5-point underdogs. With Saturday’s 112-108 loss as 3.5-point underdogs at home, they are now down three games to one. The total stayed UNDER VietBet’s closing 231-point line in that game and it has stayed UNDER in four of their last six games. Brooklyn heads back on the road with a 3-1 record both straight-up and against the spread in its last four road games.

If Brooklyn is going to keep this series alive past Tuesday night, it is going to need another strong effort from D’Angelo Russell as the team’s leading scorer. He averaged 21.1 points per game in the regular season and through the first four games of this series he has posted 22.3 PPG. Caris Lavert led the way in Saturday’s losing cause with a team-high 25 points. The Nets were ranked 15th in the NBA in scoring this season with 112.2 PPG.

Following the Game 1 loss, Philadelphia has won the last three contests both SU and ATS. Going back to a 123-110 victory against the Nets on March 28 as seven-point home favorites, the total has gone OVER in eight of the 76ers’ last 12 outings. They are 8-2 SU in their last 10 home games with an even 5-5 record ATS. Philly is 5-1 ATS in its last six games closing as a favorite.

Philadelphia won Game 3 on the road with Joel Embiid on the bench due to a bad left knee. However, this is a much better team with him in the game as its leading scorer with 27.5 PPG. He played 32 minutes on Saturday and scored a game-high 31 points. Ben Simmons has also been a force in this series with a triple-double in Game 2 and a 31-point night in Game 3. The Sixers were the fourth-highest scoring team in the league this year with 115.2 PPG.

With all the momentum on its side playing in front of the hometown crowd, lay the 7.5 points at VietBet with Philadelphia winning Game 5 both SU and ATS.
