"Trust the Tank"

Anre had no answer defensively.

The band is back together but is it too late?

Nuggets vs 'Sixers:

When last these two teams faced off, Denver enjoyed double digit TPM performances from Four players, lead by Murray's +24, four were also in the red, lead by Chandler's -7, and the Nuggets listlessly, landed a lamentable loss, at home vs the Embiidless 'Sixers, 107-102. Saric had a near 3D, Covington a 2D, 6 players for Philly were in double figures & while certain R.O.Y. Ben Simmons had an off night, the Nuggets had no answer for McConnell in the P&R.

Needless to say in each and every game from here on out, tonight's contest is a must win for a Denver team still on the outside looking in at a playoff spot in the hotly contested Western conference, so hopefully revenge is on their mind tonight.

Personal note: I signed up for a night class two weeks ago and chose Monday since the Nuggets have so infrequently played on this day this season and wouldn't you know it, two straight Mondays... games. As such, this will be a Data only night as I'll be able to watch the first half prior to class but won't be home from 7-9:30. I'll submit the link in the respective recap threads somewhere around 11 pm MDT. Apologies for the lack of analysis on this night but as always, the Data will at least be in tact.

Prediction: Denver 139 - Philadelphia 131

Go Nuggets!

Philadelphia 76ers Roster

Coach: "Big Bad" Brett Brown

Denver Nuggets Roster

Coach: Michael "Mr Imagination" Malone

Update: Lydon is out for the year after tearing up his knee in the G-League, Chandler is probable with the ever-present hip issues and "Gary Harris" is out with a mild sprain of the left knee, and no illness can slow a savvy veteran like 'Sap. He's strong as an ox (with one bad hoof) and good to go, for Denver. As for Philly, Fultz is out with a Philadelphia red-shirt (not to be confused with a Colombian necktie), and Cabarrot is out at the cabaret.
