The Denver Nuggets are slumping right now, and we would b every leery about laying this many points vs. the Philadelphia 76ers tonight.
The Nuggets are just 1-4 both straight up and against the spread in their last four games, and they are still without the services of Carmelo Anthony. Denver has failed to reach 100 points in the last two games without Anthony, and they even failed to reach the century mark in two of the last three games that he did play. Now the Nuggets are certainly not known for their defense, so they will have a tough time covering numbers like this without reaching triple-digits.
Meanwhile, the Sixers offense has been just fine of late, averaging 98.2 points per game over the last five games compared to 94.8 points for the Nuggets during this span. Philadelphia should have success again tonight vs. a Denver defense that is allowing 99.5 points per game at home this season, as well as surrendering a whopping 102.2 points per contest in the last five games overall.
We give the 76ers a decent chance at pulling off the outright upset here with Mello out, so these points are certainly worth taking.
