DENVER NUGGETS VS PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
Denver to Cover $1.90

The Nuggets take on the 76ers for the first time this season, with an eye on climbing into the top three seeds in the West.

Denver are 7-3 across their last 10 games and are searching for a third straight win here.

Meanwhile, the Sixers are three games outside of the Eastern Conference play-in bracket, with Nick Nurse struggling to get his preferred starters on the floor.

With Joel Embiid sitting through injury, Jokic should have the run of the floor here, and I am taking him to lead the Nuggs to a comfortable home victory.

LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS WASHINGTON WIZARDS
Lakers to Cover $1.90

The Lakers have been handed a timely victory as they prepare to take on the Wizards in LA.

The Wiz are on a 9-game losing streak, and have only won one of 18 games on the road this season!

LA has enjoyed playing sides with a losing record this season, going 11-1 against such teams, a huge contrast to their 11-17 record against +.500 sides.

I have the Lakers winning, and winning comfortably.
