Philadelphia 76ers vs Denver Nuggets prediction

This line has ballooned in favor of the Denver Nuggets, so I’m worried the 76ers may be down some key guys. We know Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris are considered questionable at the time of this writing. The 76ers have seen 8 of their 14 losses come on the road, and they couldn’t stop anything against the Pacers in their last outing. The Nuggets are a nightmare to deal with at home and this is a weird early start, which I guess would favor them as well. The line is reasonable if the 76ers are down starters. Give me the Nuggets.
