They have lost 4 of their last 5 games and have failed to cover in 6 of their last 6 and 7 of their last 10.

With Embiid probable, expect him to have a big game against the Nuggets, who are lacking personnel down low.<\/p>\n<p>The Sixers have hit the Over in 3 of their last 4, scoring 123 or more in each of their last 3. They have allowed 114 or more in 6 of their last 9.<\/p>\n<p>The Nuggets have scored at least 108 in back-to-back games, while allowing 127 or more in 5 of their last 7. They are still equipped with scorers, but will need their role players to play a bigger part moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>For more sports betting picks and tips, check out <a
