Nets vs. 76ers Prop Picks: There Will Be No Brotherly Love for Ben Simmons
Ben Simmons returns to Wells Fargo Center with the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night to take on the Philadelphia 76ers, in probably the last place on Earth he wants to be. We take a look at our favorite player prop picks for the game between the Nets and 76ers.
As soon as the doors open for Tuesday's game against the Nets, you just know the 76ers faithful will be there harassing Simmons throughout his warmup routine. It would be ideal if we could play the Over on technical fouls assessed to fans or fans ejected, but we will have to settle for Simmons' player props instead.
Listed below are some of our favorite player props for Tuesday's game between the Nets and 76ers (odds via Caesars Sportsbook and PointsBet).

Nets vs. 76ers Prop Picks
Ben Simmons Under 10.5 points (+125) ★★★★
I don't know about you guys, but I fully expect Simmons to fold like a cheap tent under the pressure of the Philadelphia fans. It's impossible for me to be interested in playing the Over on his points total, and the numbers support this idea.
For those interested in purchasing the Under on this prop, FanDuel Sportsbook is offering 11.5 points with a juice of -115. Based on our projections, the Under on the total of 10.5 priced at +125 is a better line than the total of 11.5 (-115) via FanDuel. You should bet the PointsBet line as long as it stays above a price point of +115.

De'Anthony Melton Over 5.5 rebounds (-125) ★★★★
A number of 76ers players are already ruled out for this game, including James Harden, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey. In addition to these players who have already been confirmed as unavailable for Tuesday's game, Tobias Harris is a game-time decision. We are seeing an advantage in De'Anthony Melton's rebounding prop as a result of these players missing Tuesday's game.
The projections I am seeing indicate that Melton will grab 6.6 rebounds against the Nets. Therefore, the total of 5.5 rebounds should be trading at -160 and not -125. The best price available for this Melton prop can be found at PointsBet, where the Over 5.5 is trading at -125. The Over on this total has been juiced to -147 by sportsbooks such as Caesars, likely approaching the -160 we have it priced at.
Kevin Durant Over 27.5 points (-111) ★★★
I'll take a correlated prop for 100! Obviously, if we are going to play the Under on Simmons' point total, then there must be someone we like for the Over on the Nets. We have rarely seen an edge to the Over on a point total for a superstar player such as Kevin Durant, so take advantage of this opportunity while you can.
At Caesars, Durant is currently trading at -111 to go over the total of 27.5, 10 cents less than I have Durant priced at. Rather than playing this at FanDuel, where Durant's total is 28.5 (-102), you should be attacking the Caesars line.
