Denver at Philadelphia

The Denver Nuggets have had the offense rolling as they have topped the century mark in eight straight games. The problem is because they are considered such a high paced, high-octane offense, five of those eight went under the total, so the oddsmakers realize the "over- happy” public is going high with this team. Look at it this way, the only four totals that have been set higher than this one were vs. high-scoring running teams. Those four were against Indiana, New York, Golden State and Toronto. The Sixers are not that type of team, reaching 100 just 40% of the time. They have in fact reached 100 points in just one home game all year, where they do a better job controlling the tempo. The Nuggets have now played 16 of their last 23 on the road to the UNDER, and the Sixers have played 7 of 10 UNDER in the role of a home dog from 5-10.5 points. This one stays UNDER the total.
