Preview

The Denver Nuggets hit the road and will visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. This is the second time these teams face off this season and the Sixers won the last game 103-89 in Denver.

DENVER NUGGETS 

Denver have lost their last 2 games and are 20-15 on the road with a 40-28 record overall ranking second in the Northwest Division. In their last game, Nikola Jokic had 26 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Nuggets. Bones Hyland added 17 points, and Will Barton had 16 in his return from an ankle injury but the Nuggets lost 115-127 vs Raptors.

Jokic is averaging 26.1 points, 13.8 rebounds and 8.1 assists for the Nuggets. Monte Morris is averaging 14.7 points and 4.1 assists over the last 10 games for Denver.

In their last 10 games the Nuggets are 7-3, averaging 118.2 points, 45.4 rebounds, 28.7 assists, 8.2 steals and 4.4 blocks per game while shooting 49.7% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 112.6 points.

PHILADELPHIA 76ERS

The Sixers are 19-14 at home this season and are 41-25 overall ranking first in the Atlantic Division. They're coming from a narrow win in overtime against the Orlando Magic.  Embiid had 35 points and 16 rebounds, Harden finished with 26 points and Tobias Harris added 25 and nine rebounds for the 76ers.

Embiid is shooting 48.4% and averaging 29.8 points for the 76ers. Maxey is averaging 18.5 points over the last 10 games for Philadelphia.

In their last 10 games the 76ers are 7-3, averaging 113.5 points, 41.8 rebounds, 22.5 assists, 6.8 steals and 3.7 blocks per game while shooting 43.5% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 114.1 points per game.

BETTING TRENDS

Denver is 2-5 ATS in its last 7.

The OVER has cashed in 5 of the Nuggets last 6 versus an Atlantic division opponent.

Philadelphia is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 during March.

The OVER has cashed in 6 of the 76ers last 9 games.

Prediction

These are two of the best teams in the NBA and both have MVP contenders. The Nuggets have won 7 of their last 10 games but have failed to cover the spread and they could be without Aaron Gordon. The 76ers have also won 7 of their last 10 but have struggled to cover the spread as well. It's hard to pick a side on this one so I'm looking at the total. With both teams scoring and allowing plenty of points I think the bet is the over.

PICK: Over 224 (-110)
