76ers vs. Nuggets Prediction
I love the over in this game. I think both teams are going to go fast and score a lot of points in this game. I think the 76ers show improvement after their embarrassing loss to the Suns the other day. Look for Embiid and Harden to have monster games in this one. The Nuggets always find a way to score alot of points whether it’s Jokic, Murray, Porter Jr., or Aaron Gordon. I love the over in this game.
