Books have this at -1.5 Nuggets.
Gallo was announced as injured and now some books have it going UP to -2 Nuggets.
No biggie, lay the points.
Nuggets will be in the top 4 best teams in West this and the hapless Sixers will struggle with the 7th/8th seed at best (where they only benefited last year because of a Rose injury in the playoffs).
The Sixers are gutted and injured and still trying to find their identity (which they traded in the offseason). Take the Sixers and who do you get on the court tonight: minutes from Kwame Brown and Spencer Hawes of all people. Run for the hills now if you are Sixers backer.
Iggy's return to Philly WILL mean something to this game and put Denver over the top. No Bynum obviously which is only to Denver's benefit.
This is a quick and dirty write-up because I was waiting for Gallo's status and even though he's out with the line shading towards the Nuggets not against it, you can be confident and lay the 1.5 here and keep your eye on other games.
THE PICK OF THE NIGHT:
NUGGETS -1.5 OVER SIXERS
