The Nuggets are 1-3-2 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Philadelphia and 1-5-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

The Denver Nuggets aren’t a team I’m eager to back in the favorite role right now, but the 76ers are a limited team due to COVID-19. There’s a reason this line is what it is. For me, it’s the Nuggets and the chalk or pass. I can’t take the undermanned 76ers.
