Denver at Philadelphia

Denver has a winning road record anchored by a terrific defense, at sixth in the NBA in points allowed, and #11 at defending beyond the arc. Point guard Jamal Murray returned from a six-game absence the last game and had 19 points, and 11 assists against the Nets. The Nuggets are 7-3 ATS against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Philadelphia is riding a two-game skid, both times as chalk, and has to work in new pieces after making a series of trades. The 76ers are 6-13 ATS versus teams with winning percentages above .600, plus 4-9 ATS when following a double-digit loss at home. With the road team 19-6-1 ATS when these teams clash, back the talented dog. Play Denver.
