Brooklyn Nets vs. Philadelphia 76ers Betting Info and Odds (03/10/2022)

At the onset of the season, the 76ers were smarting from their 2021 NBA Playoffs flop.  And Ben Simmons went from a hero to zero for his poor postseason play. Gamblers wanted nothing to do with the 76ers in the first half of the season.  And Philadelphia gave no NBA betting evidence of good things coming to those who would wait.  However, last month’s NBA trade deadline changed everything.  Simmons was shipped to Brooklyn for James Harden.  Now it’s the Nets that are being avoided.  And it is the 76ers that are the darlings of the betting public.
