Hot Nuggets – Denver at Philadelphia<\/h2>\n

The Denver Nuggets (36-17 SU, 30-22-1 ATS, 28-25 O\/U) have won two consecutive games in the BetUS Sportsbook and six of its last seven overall as they continue to climb their push up the Western Conference standings behind all-star point guard Chauncey Billups.<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia 76ers (27-25 SU, 25-25-2 ATS, 20-30-2 O\/U) had their four-game winning streak emphatically snapped the last time they took the floor, losing to the Indiana Pacers 100-91 on Tuesday night just as I predicted in the BetUS Locker Room yesterday.<\/p>\n

Nuggets\u2019 leading scorer Carmelo Anthony scored 29 points and grabbed eight rebounds as the Nuggets defeated the Magic 82-73 on Wednesday to easily cover the spread as a 7-pointroad underdog while the 155 combined points fell well UNDER the posted O\/U total of 209 points.<\/p>\n

Swingman Andre Iguodala scored 20 points and dished out nine assists for Philadelphia in its loss to Indiana on Tuesday night while Philly failed to cover the spread as 2-point road underdogs while the game played under the 211-point O\/U total.<\/p>\n

Here is a look at tonight\u2019s key trends, followed by my in-depth analysis and NBA Free Pick.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Denver is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games
\nDenver is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games on the road
\nDenver is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games on the road
\nDenver is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games<\/a>
\nThe total has gone UNDER in 5 of Philadelphia’s last 6 games at home
\nPhiladelphia is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home
\nPhiladelphia is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games
\nPhiladelphia is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games when playing Denver<\/p>\n

NBA Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Denver Nuggets -2\u00bd -110
\nPhiladelphia 76ers +2\u00bd -110<\/p>\n

Over 202 -110
\nUnder 202 -110<\/p>\n

Analysis<\/strong>: I\u2019ll be brief with this pick beloved BetUS NBA betting members by simply saying I think this game is an absolute \u2018lock\u2019 for Denver Nuggets backers.<\/p>\n

The Sixers may be playing at home in this contest, but they are also playing for the second consecutive night while the Nuggets are surely set to get their post-all-star break period off to a positive start as they look to climb up the Western Conference standings.<\/p>\n

Take the veteran-laden Nuggets led by all-star point guard Chauncey Billups and high-scoring forward Carmelo Anthony to win and cover the spread against a Sixers team that still has a bit too much youth to contend with the NBA\u2019s elite teams.<\/p>\n
