NBA Playoffs 2019: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Brooklyn Nets Game 3 live stream: Watch online
By Ian Levy
Things shift to Brooklyn for a pivotal Game 3 between the Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers. Here’s everything you need to know to watch.
The 76ers bounced back to even the series in Game 2, burying the Nets with a historic 51-point third quarter. It was a startling change from Game 1 where Joel Embiid looked off and Ben Simmons was stymied by a passive, paint-packing defense. For one night, at least, the 76ers appeared to have solved those challenges.
As the series shifts back to Brooklyn, we’ll get to see what adjustments the Nets have up their sleeves. Simmons’ defense on D’Angelo Russell was a disruptive factor in Game 2 and Kenny Atkinson will need to find some ways to help shake Russell loose. Or, we the stage could be set for a big game from Spencer Dinwiddie or Caris LeVert, helping carry the load and exploiting their matchups with the 76ers’ less-than-ideal wing depth.
For Philadelphia, they’ll need another aggressive offensive game from Simmons and hopefully a break out from Tobias Harris who has scored just 23 points across two games, hitting 2-of-6 3-pointers. Harris and J.J. Redick are the only reliable outside shooters in the 76ers’ core rotation and as the series continues to tighten they’ll need as much efficiency and resulting interior space as they can squeeze out of the pairing.
Below is everything you’ll need to watch Game 3.

With the Nets already having picked up a win on the road, Philadelphia has to get one of the next two games to regain homecourt advantage. A Game 3 isn’t functionally a must-win for either team but this will put one of the two teams in a very strong position.
