Eastern Conference Foes Clash as 76ers, Nets Seek Consistency

Game Preview

The Brooklyn Nets (13-21) are set to host the Philadelphia 76ers (13-19) in a clash of Eastern Conference foes looking to turn their seasons around. The Nets snapped a three-game skid with a win in their last outing, but they've struggled to find consistency, hovering around a 40 percent win rate over their last 10 and 20 games. Their offense has been a shade below average, scoring just over 108 points per game on the season while allowing nearly 113 points on the other end.

Brooklyn's shooting numbers have been mediocre, hitting 45.3 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from deep. Their saving grace has been a nearly 82 percent mark at the free throw line. The Nets have grabbed just under 40 rebounds per game while dishing out over 25 assists, but they've also coughed up the ball nearly 14 times per contest. In their last 10 games, Brooklyn's offense has sputtered, averaging 103.5 points on 42.9 percent shooting from the field.

The 76ers, meanwhile, have found more success recently, winning 6 of their last 10 despite an overall 40.6 percent win rate. Philadelphia has averaged 111.5 points over that stretch on 46.3 percent shooting, including a 37.8 percent clip from three-point range. They've been a menace on defense as well, holding opponents to just under 114 points per game while forcing nearly 14 turnovers.

While the 76ers have struggled at the free throw line (79 percent), they've made up for it by crashing the boards for 38.6 rebounds per game. Philly has also been active on the defensive end, averaging 10.9 steals and 4.6 blocks over their last 10 outings. If the 76ers can maintain their recent level of play, they could give the struggling Nets all they can handle in Brooklyn.
