Philadelphia likely won't make 21 shots from 3-point range as it did in routing the Nets on Saturday, but the 76ers are showing they mean business as they try again to go deep into the playoffs after years of frustration. James Harden especially is on a mission and he totaled 23 points while hitting seven from downtown and the Sixers won by 20 even though Brooklyn shot 56 percent and went 13-for-29 from beyond the arc itself. The Nets are only 3-6 ATS their past nine games and their last two games were against the 76ers and both went OVER and by an average of 13.5 points. Philadelphia has soared OVER four consecutive games, including the final three of the regular season and four of the past five meetings have gone OVER. The 76ers are 25-12 ATS their past 37 home games and 6-2 OVER overall after winning by double digits. The Nets have gone OVER six straight following a loss. Take the 76ers as my Game of the Month Max Play and the OVER.
