The in-form Philadelphia 76ers will be at home to welcome the Brooklyn Nets in the final round of the 2023/24 NBA regular season. They arrive for this game sitting sixth in the East standings, almost 15 games clear of 11th-placed visitors. The Sixers are the hottest team in the NBA at the moment. They will want to maintain this heading into the playoffs. Nick Nurse’s men have won seven straight matches. It is not a coincidence that this hot streak began with the return to fitness for Joel Embiid. Philly now hold the final automatic playoff spot. They can move into fifth but can also drop into the play-in places if they lose here and other results go against them. The Sixers are in a three-way tie with the Magic in fifth and the Pacers in seventh on a 46-35 record. They defeated the Magic 125-113 last time out. KJ Martin and Robert Covington missed the game and are most likely not to be involved here. A win here for the Sixers will see them tie this series at 2-2.

The Nets are not playing for seeding for the postseason and are only playing for pride. Kevin Ollie’s men's season will conclude after this game as they aren’t in the playoff picture. The Nets, who will finish the season with a losing record, lead this series 2-1. They have won the last two matchups with their hosts. One of those wins was a 136-121 success the last time they were in Philadelphia. Brooklyn have lacked consistency all season and have compiled a 32-49 record. On the road is where they have struggled the most and so far have managed 12 wins in 40 away fixtures. The Nets lost 111-107 away to the Knicks last time out. A total of nine players missed the game due to injuries. Dariq Whitehead, Dennis Shroder, Day’Ron Sharpe, and Dorian Finney-Smith are some of the sidelined players who are likely to be out here as well. The Nets have averaged under 100 points over their last three games.
