The Philadelphia 76ers have already booked their first trip to the playoffs since 2012 but the young team has not been gently cruising into the postseason. Quite the opposite, in fact, as the 76ers have won six straight games with an average scoring margin of +12 points per game. Now the Sixers will look to match a season-high seven-game winning streak when they host the Denver Nuggets on Monday.
- The Nuggets are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games against the 76ers.
- The 76ers are 15-1 SU and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games at home.
- The Nuggets are 5-2 SU and ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog of 6.0 or less.
You must take the Sixers’ recent hot play with a grain of salt with only one of their past six victories coming against teams above .500. However, there is no detracting from just how phenomenal Ben Simmons has been during that six-game span – with the likely Rookie of the Year averaging 13.1 points, 11.8 assists and 10 rebounds while hitting 55.9 percent of his shots. Simmons had issues in his one outing against the Nuggets earlier this year with just six points and five turnovers back on December 30.
March is absolutely brutal for the Nuggets with 11 of their 15 games coming on the road. Denver enters this contest coming off back-to-back victories over the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards thanks largely to stellar shooting from beyond the arc. The Nuggets are hitting 53.6 percent of their three-point attempts in their last two outings.
