76ers vs. Nuggets Prediction, Odds and Best NBA Prop Bets for Tuesday, March 17

The Philadelphia 76ers start a road trip with a matchup against the Denver Nuggets on NBC on Tuesday night.

The shorthanded 76ers have won two in a row and three of their last four games, but face an uphill battle tonight in Denver. The Nuggets are returning home after beating the Spurs and losing to the Lakers, so they’ll be looking for a get-right spot against Philadelphia.

Denver was missing a few players itself in the first meeting but still got an upset win in Philadelphia back in January.

The oddsmakers have the Nuggets as big home favorites at the best betting sites on
Tuesday night.

Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Tuesday night’s NBA matchup.

76ers vs. Nuggets Best NBA Prop Bets

76ers Best NBA Prop Bet

Justin Edwards OVER 18.5 Pts + Reb + Ast (-123)

Justin Edwards is getting a chance to start for Philadelphia with a few key players out, and he’s making the most of the opportunity. Edwards went OVER 18.5 PRA in his last three games, including 19 and 21 points alone in his last two contests.

It’ll obviously be a tougher matchup tonight in Denver, but Edwards appears to have found his shot. He’s 18 for 27 over the last two games, including 3 of 5 from deep against Portland.

Someone has to score and put up some stats for Philadelphia; why not Edwards?

76ers vs. Nuggets Prediction and Pick

The last time the 76ers went into Denver without Joel Embiid, they lost 144-109 as +11.5 underdogs. Now Embiid is just the tip of the iceberg on a long injury report.

Philadelphia just lost by 21 in Detroit and 14 in Cleveland in its last two road games. It’s now 14-17 against the spread as the underdog, including 8-9 as the road underdog.

The Nuggets blew out the Rockets 129-93 in their last home game, and we should see another blowout victory tonight in Denver.

Pick: Nuggets -15.5 (-108)
