The NBA have once again made a bizarre scheduling decision. They have placed what could be a showdown of the league’s last three MVPs on the second night of a back-to-back for Philadelphia.

Joel Embiid has been dealing with an injury of late, and his availability is uncertain for the visit of Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.

PHILADELPHIA 76ERS VS DENVER NUGGETS SAME-GAME PARLAY

Over 227.5 total points

The Sixers are +12.1 in Embiid’s minutes. The Nuggets are +11.5 in Nikola Jokic’s minutes. While both teams have been excellent defensively this season, great offence beats great defence in the NBA and that’s what we’re expecting here.

These teams combined for over 240 points in their last meeting at Wells Fargo Center. Plus, the Sixers have hit the over in 60.5% of their games so far this season.

Tyrese Maxey over 2.5 made threes

Tyrese Maxey is averaging 3.1 made threes per game this season. His two-man game with Embiid is always a staple for the Sixers, and it will be particularly important as they target Jokic and Jamal Murray on the defensive end.

Having made 13 threes over his last three games, this line is simply too low with how well Maxey has been shooting the ball. Yes, Denver will try and run him off the three-point line, but there’s only so much they can do against one of the league’s most improved off-the-bounce shooters.

Joel Embiid over 3.5 turnovers

Prior to having just two turnovers on Monday, Embiid had registered four or more turnovers in three consecutive games. The Nuggets don’t force a huge number of turnovers, but only three players turn it over more per 36 minutes than Embiid.

Jokic has great hands. Gordon will be aggressive either as a helper or guarding Embiid straight-up.
