76ers vs Nuggets Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
DEN Nuggets -15.5(-110)

Only one point separated the 76ers and Nuggets in the first meeting this season, but Tuesday’s game could be a stark contrast to that game as Philadelphia enters this contest as a 15.5-point underdog. That’s mainly due to most of their star power being out injured. Tyrese Maxey is dealing with a finger injury, Joel Embiid is out with an oblique issue, while Kelly Oubre Jr.’s elbow will cause him to sit this one out. Paul George still has a week left on his suspension, so even though the Sixers have won 3 of their last 3 games they could struggle to find enough points against a superior Nuggets team here.

Denver’s last game saw them lose a thriller in LA against the Lakers 127-125 in OT. The team looked very gassed in the extra 5 mins of play, they just weren’t able to overcome Luka Doncic in that game. Aaron Gordon is improving day by day, he is expected to ramp up his production in this final stretch of regular season games. Winning this game is a priority for the Nuggets who are still very much in contention for the 3rd seed, however the Lakers now have a 2-game edge. With the two teams in front of Denver battling again on Wednesday, a win here would do wonders for the confidence of the Nuggets who are just 5-5 SU in their last 10 games.

On paper you’d think Philadelphia is in fine form given their 3 wins in 4 games, but those were against Memphis, Brooklyn and Portland which isn’t exactly a good measuring stick. This should be all Denver, if they guard against complacency. They’ve won 6 of 7 at home vs Philly and they’re also 5-1 SU in 6 meetings overall. I’ll back them despite the big spread they have to cover here.

76ers vs Nuggets prediction: Nuggets -15.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

Hopefully we can make some money together! Oh, and I firmly believe Lebron James is not one of the two best basketball players of all time. Yeah, I said it.
