**PHILADELPHIA +1.5 over Denver (8:05 Eastern)

Philadelphia looks to keep pace in the Atlantic Division when they host the Nuggets at the Wachovia Center. The Sixers are 4-1-0 ATS in its last 5 home games while Denver is 1-4-0 ATS in its last 5 away games. At 30-30, the Sixers trail first-place New Jersey by two games and are tied with Washington for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The Sixers are 5-3 in their last eight games and have won four of five at home, but lost their last two contests, 94-93 to Indiana on Sunday and 104-101 to Boston on Wednesday. The Sixers have had recent success against Denver at home, garnering a 4-1 mark in their last five games, while outscoring the Nuggets by an average of 13.4 points.With Denver's offense showing signs of life, they begin a season-high seven-game road trip with a three-game Northwest Division lead over second-place Utah. The Nuggets have won two straight games and are 7-3 in their last 10. But as we see Denver has no luck on the road at the Wachovia Center and that why I recommend a play on the Sixers here. Two stars on Philly plus the points.
