Nuggets Look To Rebound After Blowing Fourth-Quarter Lead Saturday Night

Denver should be motivated to bounce back from Saturday’s sloppy performance at home against Toronto, when the Nuggets committed 19 turnovers and allowed 23 offensive rebounds in a 127-115 loss.

“I thought we were soft … and I thought we were really careless,” head coach Michael Malone told the Denver Post after watching his team let a eight-point fourth-quarter lead slip away.

The loss was Denver’s second straight and third in six at home, but the Nuggets could be poised to turn things around now that they’re hitting the road. Denver has won five consecutive games as the visitor and is 9-3 SU in its last 12 on the highway, with six of those victories coming as underdogs. If you like the Nuggets on the point spread, you may also want to include the Denver moneyline on your Nuggets vs 76ers prediction.

Aaron Gordon missed Saturday’s loss to Toronto with right foot soreness, and he was listed as questionable for tonight at the time of writing. Gordon has struggled offensively of late, scoring 12 points or less in five of his last six appearances.

Faster Start A Goal For Sixers After Rallying From 17-Point Deficit Yesterday

Slow starts have plagued the 76ers since they traded for Harden, although Philadelphia was able to overcome that issue in yesterday’s 116-114 overtime win in Orlando. Embiid scored 35 points to lead the Sixers’ rally from a 17-point deficit, the sixth time in two weeks that Philadelphia has trailed a game by double digits.

Free-throw shooting and defense were also key to the Sixers’ comeback yesterday as Embiid and Harden combined to shoot 14 of 47 from the field. Philly’s star duo hit 28 of their 32 attempts from the charity stripe, and the Sixers held Orlando without a field goal for nearly seven minutes to open the second half after allowing the Magic to shoot 53.7 percent from the field in the first two quarters.

Nuggets vs 76ers Pick & Insights

Nuggets: Keys To Cover

The Nuggets seem to bring their best when the odds are stacked against them, certainly something to keep in mind when making your Nuggets vs 76ers prediction. They’ve covered four straight as an underdog and six of their last seven on the road, and should bring even more focus after getting called out by their coach following Saturday’s loss.

76ers: Keys To Cover

Coming off yesterday’s tough overtime win, Philly may need a big game from its defense to pull out a cover against Denver. The Sixers have not scored more than 109 points in a game this season when playing for the second consecutive day, and offense could be an even bigger issue if Philly chooses to rest Embiid or Harden tonight.
