Tuesday, Jan. 16 @ Philadelphia 76ers, Wells Fargo Center, 5:30 p.m.

DEN +1.5, +105
PHI -1.5, -125
TOTAL 233

A possible NBA Finals preview takes place tonight between the Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers. It is a nationally televised game and features the winners of the last three MVP awards, Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid. These two will play each other and expect a shooting show from J. Embiid tonight. N. Jokic will be looking for a triple-double with great passing options available.

Every starter for the Denver Nuggets was listed as questionable but it appears they will all be available. This could change at the shoot around, so be mindful for fantasy and betting purposes. The Philadelphia 76ers will be without De’Anthony Melton tonight, but Joel Embiid is listed as full health on what will be the 76res second game in back-to-back nights. Expect a tightly contested battle as the MVPs share the court.


BET OF THE NIGHT: Michael Porter Jr. OVER 6.5 Rebounds +110 DK

Michael Porter Jr. (MPJ) has been much more aggressive on the glass, and his rebounds per game average is up to 7.2. He is still shooting the three ball, but improved his attacking of smaller forwards offensively. He will be needed in what should be a close game and his rebounds are set below his average. The Philadelphia 76ers allow the fifth most rebounds to opposing small forwards, and MPJ has twenty-two rebounds over his last three games. A plus odds bet that is simply following MPJ’s trend of more rebounding, and every MPJ rebound is another Nuggets possession. Those will be of critical importance in a spread of 1.5 points.

¡Vamos Los Nuggets!
