Team	SP/RL	TOTAL	ML
Denver Nuggets	-4 (-110)	223 o (-110)	-170

The Denver Nuggets are coming into this game from a tough overtime loss against the Dallas Mavericks in overtime, 117-124. The team now has a 3-5 record and this team has been struggling so far. Depth has been the problem of the Nuggets as they lost Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee in free agency. Michael Porter Jr. is expected to step up and take a bigger role but he has been sidelined due to quarantine. Nikola Jokic has been trying his best to hold on until his team gets their flow while Jamal Murray has been inconsistent so far. Veteran Paul Millsap has been forced to play more but his body can only do so much at this point.

The Philadelphia 76ers have been doing well this season but their biggest opponent is not on the basketball court right now. This team has been in the news because of all the bad reasons as Seth Curry has been tested positive for COVID-19. At this point, the team is just trying to find a way to keep a minimum roster heading on to their game against the Denver Nuggets as several players now have to go through strict quarantine. It is still unknown as of this writing who will play but what matters to them right now is just not delaying the NBA schedule further than it is.
