Stephen Nover's NBA Total of the Month - 15-7 NBA Totals Run!
(NBA) Denver vs. Philadelphia,
Total: 220.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
Don't get dazzled by superstars Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid and James Harden. Defense is going to dominate this matchup.

Both teams rank in the top 12 defensively and each team is half-court oriented rather than fast-paced.

The Under has cashed in five of the past six meetings between the Nuggets and 76ers.

The Nuggets are averaging 107.6 points in their last three games. This is their first East Coast game in more than a month so the time difference could throw off their shooting.

If you discount a 121-point game against the Bulls, a below average defensive team, the 76ers are averaging 95.3 points in regulation during their last three games.
