We will once again be denied a Nikola Jokic-Joel Embiid matchup (they’ve met three times since Dec. 2019), but there will be plenty of other NBA player prop bets to make when the Nuggets visit Philadelphia tonight. Read on and good luck!
Nuggets vs 76ers Prediction
Denver has lost the first three games of a five-game road trip and it will have some eagerness in this one, maybe a little bit of desperation. The Sixers, meanwhile, are enjoying a four-game winning streak, tied for their longest of the season. Their last loss? A 35-point beatdown at Denver 10 days ago.
Whatever worked for the Nuggets in that one should carry over just a bit in Philly and they’ll put an end to both streaks, but just barely: Nuggets 121, Sixers 117.
Now, let’s take a look at the Nuggets vs 76ers betting lines to find the best wagers.

Nuggets vs 76ers 3 Best NBA Player Props Today
1. Russell Westbrook Over 5.5 Assists (-136)
We expect some points to be scored in this one and Russell Westbrook will be involved in plenty of it for the Nuggets. He averages 6.4 assists per game, 6.5 since being inserted into the starting lineup for good just after Christmas. And he had nine when these teams met on Jan. 21.
The NBA odds are likely taking into account the fact that Westbrook went below this number in each of his last four games, but that’s a streak that has to end sometime. He absolutely loves dishing to Jokic and the rest of them.

2. Michael Porter Jr. Over 21.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-120)
Michael Porter Jr. went for 19 points and six rebounds in the last meeting, soaring past this number with ease (he also had an assist). He’s not that far removed from getting to 21 in points alone over a string of five straight games. We like him to have another solid effort vs the Sixers, against whom he was 8-for-13 on Jan. 21
3. Eric Gordon Over 11.5 Points (-109)
While Tyrese Maxey cooks (and becomes an all-time snub for the All-Star Game), Gordon is providing nice support. He’s scored in double figures in four straight and eight of his last 10, shooting 53% from the arc in that 10-game span. Eric Gordon is a top NBA player prop pick for this game.
Sixers point guard Tyrese Maxey didn’t make the NBA All-Star team despite being sixth in the league in scoring and third in steals. That’s a tough break.

Bet These Nuggets vs Sixers Player Props Here
Nuggets vs 76ers Moneyline Pick
The Denver Nuggets haven’t lost four straight since Nov. 2021 and we think that will remain the case in this one. The Sixers are an improving bunch with a superstar in Maxey, but their injuries will be too much to overcome against a healthy and likely angry Denver crew.
Bet on Nuggets ML (-415)
Nuggets vs 76ers Spread Pick
This one will be significantly closer than the matchup 10 days ago when the Philadelphia 76ers were the road-weary bunch just mailing it in.
Nuggets vs 76ers Over/Under Pick
Denver hits the over 63.8% of the time and scored 144 points the last time these teams met. Expect a shootout and put the over on your NBA betting slip.
Bet on Nuggets vs Sixers Over 234 (-110)
