The Philadelphia 76ers are visiting the Denver Nuggets tonight in what will be another year that the Denver fans will be deprived of seeing a Joel Embiid vs Nikola Jokic matchup. The visiting center finds himself on the injury report among several other key rotation pieces. As a result, the 76ers could find it hard to come away with a win tonight and start getting their season back on track.

Russell Westbrook over 6.5 assists (+105)
The Philadelphia 76ers could be severely impacted tonight by the injuries to their roster. It could lead to a comfortable night for the Nuggets, and I expect their veterans to be getting the young players involved. Look for Russell Westbrook to be doing just that. He is already having a strong January sharing the rock, averaging 6.7 assists per game. Westbrook is one of the best rebounding guards in the league and should get plenty of opportunities to grab missed 76ers shots and push the ball up the court himself. Christian Braun ranks 4th in fast break points per game and should benefit from several assists tonight from the veteran here. Jamal Murray is also on the injury report tonight so look for Westbrook to carry more of the load in the Nuggets’ backcourt tonight. This should translate to assists in the box score.

Nikola Jokic over 9.5 assists (-115)
Nikola Jokic should be able to get whatever he desires in this game. The 76ers will be without Joel Embiid tonight, with Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele both listed as questionable. If they do not take to the floor, Adem Bona and Pete Nance will pick up their minutes. For the reigning MVP, it should not be much of a challenge. He has been great at passing in January, failing to get at least 10 assists just twice. In both contests, he managed 9. Over the last 4 games, Jokic has scored more than 20 points just once, with all 4 games being double-digit wins for the Nuggets. It shows the mentality of Jokic to get others involved in these games, and the same should be here against a shorthanded 76ers squad.

Peyton Watson over 7.5 points (+100)
One of the players likely to benefit from Westbrook and Jokic sharing the ball would be Peyton Watson. The 3rd-year forward is having his best scoring season of his career, averaging 8.6 points per game. He is an electric athlete too and should benefit from not having to go up against much size in the paint thanks to the injury bug that has hit the 76ers’ centers. He has managed at least 8 points in 7 of his last 9 games, with the last 2 games being the ones he has failed to do so in. Those games have been against stellar defensive teams in the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. Over the last 10 games, the 76ers are 27th in defensive rating so are unlikely to put up a similar resistance. Back Watson to have a bounce-back game as a result.
