It's worth wondering where the Denver offense will come from tonight with the Nuggets' top four scorers unavailable in Philadelphia. We know of the Joker's absence (knee) but also tonight Jamal Murray (ankle) will be given a rest as will Tim Hardaway, Jr and recently-activated Aaron Gordon, forcing David Adelman into makeshift lineups and rotations. Slowing the pace might be Adelman's only alternative at Wachovia Center. Meanwhile, the Sixers have won three straight, but they haven't won a game by more than 15 points for over a month, hence a bit of reluctance to lay this heavy price. They're also returning home from a road trip, a role in which they have lost in three of their last four opportunities. Play Nuggets-Sixers Under

FanDuel. Going back to Peyton Watson tonight. The rising wing has now notched 21+ points in each of the three games since Nikola Jokic went down. In those games, he’s averaging 18 shot attempts and five free throw tries, as well as 10.3 drives per game. Both Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun returned to the lineup yesterday - I’m OK with this line if they do suit up, but I’d expect at least one of them to sit on the back to back after prolonged injury absences. It’s a solid schematic matchup for Watson too - the Sixers are a bottom 10 defense against both transition points and ball-handlers (the latter being more relevant for Watson without Jokic).
