The Sixers are expected to make quick work of the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA playoffs.
The NBA playoffs are back, and in Philadelphia it’s a similar script: a seemingly pushover first-round series and then an Eastern Conference mammoth in round two.
First up for the third-seeded Sixers is the sixth-seeded Brooklyn Nets, who look a lot different in April than they did in November.
Pushover? The odds are saying so, as the Sixers are massive favorites to get by the Nets and reach the second round, where the Boston Celtics would likely be waiting. Here’s a look at some Sixers-Nets odds.
Odds as of 12 p.m. Monday, April 10 and are subject to change.
