What to Know

The Brooklyn Nets will be returning home after a two-game road trip. They will take on the Philadelphia 76ers at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at Barclays Center after having had a few days off. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The stars were brightly shining for Brooklyn in a 124-108 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. It was another big night for the Nets' point guard James Harden, who almost posted a triple-double on 39 points, 15 assists, and eight boards. That's the third consecutive game in which The Beard has had at least ten assists.

Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Philadelphia beat the Toronto Raptors 114-109 on Tuesday. Philadelphia's center Joel Embiid did his thing and dropped a double-double on 36 points and 11 rebounds.

Brooklyn is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5-point margin of victory. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, though, as they've failed to beat the spread in 11 of their 16 home games.

Brooklyn was able to grind out a solid victory over the 76ers in the teams' previous meeting earlier this month, winning 114-105. Will the Nets repeat their success, or does Philadelphia have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
