Philadelphia 76ers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The 76ers have a boatload of injuries and it wouldn’t be shocking to see them get smoked here. However, the Nuggets are 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite and 6 of those failed covers were outright losses. The Nuggets are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games as a double-digit favorite. The Nuggets should win obviously but this feels like too many points to leave on the table. It’s 76ers or pass for me on Tuesday night.
