The Denver Nuggets cruised to a 105-95 win last night over the Milwaukee Bucks to even up their road mark at 3-3. This has not been a good road team in recent years, especially playing on back to back nights. Denver is the worst NBA road team playing on consecutive nights at 93-128-4 ATS a long time running. The Sixers have certainly turned the corner and in a weakened Atlantic division they may be on top to stay. They are off to a resounding 10-3 start and have been perfect at home through their first six. What is most impressive is their ten wins have seen nine of them come by 10 or more points, with the only one that hasn't been in double-digits the one point win on the road. This team, even at 10-3, is still under the radar.  Play on Philadelphia. While the Sixers are rolling their defense has as well. Since their opener their games have topped the posted total in tonight's game just one time and that was vs. the helpless Wizards as they scored 120. The Nuggets have long had the reputation for running and gunning, but the fact is in their last 28 games with a total posted at 202 or higher they have played to a 19-7-2 mark to the UNDER. They are also 47-23-1 to the UNDER in their last 71 vs. a team that is better than .600 at home. The Sixers back to the end of last season are now 9-1 to the UNDER in their last ten as home chalk.  Play this one on Philadelphia and the UNDER.
