76ers vs Nuggets Picks, Prediction and NBA Prop Bets: Bet Oubre Jr Over 15.5 Points for Jan 21

When both starting centers are healthy, this is a marquee matchup. Alas, Nikola Jokic is the only active MVP center in this one as Joel Embiid remains sidelined. Denver has turned around some early sluggish play with a strong surge this month behind the improved play of Jamal Murray. The Nuggets are heavily favored at home and a solid NBA pick.

Nikola Jokić puts up his 18th triple-double of the season! The next-closest player has 8 😳

76ers vs Nuggets Prediction

These are teams heading in opposite directions. Denver has won six of its last seven and every game has been decided by double digits. It gets to try to continue that surge against a very banged up Philadelphia team. The Sixers, losers of six in a row, are finishing up a three-game trip with a lengthy injury list.

The NBA odds present a rather massive line (13.5) in favor of the hosts. This could be one that Philly just punts in the hopes of getting home to reset: Nuggets 118, Sixers 103

76ers vs Nuggets Best NBA Player Props Today

1. Kelly Oubre Jr. Over 15.5 Points (-121)

The Sixers won’t have Joel Embiid, Kyle Lowry and Caleb Martin, and could be without Paul George and Guerschon Yabusele. Tyrese Maxey is healthy and playing well but we like Kelly Oubre Jr. in this one to handle a big portion of the scoring load. He’s scored at least 16 points in three straight and at least 15 in seven of his last nine, so you know he’ll be in the ballpark.

Tyrese Maxey SHOWED OUT for the 76ers despite the loss.

2. Tyrese Maxey Over 6.5 Assists (-112)

The Nuggets allow a league-high 29.3 assists per game. Tyrese Maxey will get the lion’s share for Philly as he tries to push it against a team that can sometimes be had in transition. He’s averaging 7.0 assists over his last 14 games, so we like this addition to the NBA bet slip.

3. Russell Westbrook Over 5.5 Rebounds (+112)

Russell Westbrook has been under this number in three straight but he was over it in each of the previous seven. Philadelphia has been beaten on the boards in seven straight games, some of them by massive margins. We like this Nuggets veteran to get his share.

76ers vs Nuggets Moneyline Pick

It’s almost impossible to warrant anything but a Nuggets pick here. They’re at home, healthy, surging and going up against a team that needs to get home and lick its wounds.

Bet on Nuggets -800

76ers vs Nuggets Spread Pick

It is a rather large number, even with the teams in very different places. We think the 76ers will play with some pride and keep it close for a half or so, but a Denver surge after halftime will make this a rout.

Bet on Nuggets -13.5 (-110)

76ers vs Nuggets Over/Under Pick

Both these teams hit the over more often than not, with the Nuggets doing so at a 26-16 clip. This has the makings of one of those games that gets a little wacky in the end, with backups hoisting up 3s at a steady clip. Go on the high end with this pick at the BetUS Sportsbook.
