PHI 76ers @ IND Pacers

The NBA week starts today (6). Among the attractions, we have the matchup between second and fourth place in the East, the Nuggets trying to win the fourth in a row to stay at the top in the West and James Harden and Joel Embiid back in action after last game’s performance of 30+ points and 10+ assists each. ThePicks brings now the NBA Monday preview with six games.

Boston Celtics (45-20) @ Cleveland Cavaliers (40-26) – 7:00 PM

Maybe the greatest game of the evening, this game brings the matchup between current seeds 2 and 4 of the East. Playing at home and coming from a win in the last game, the Cavs are the favourites by 7.5 points tonight.

• Spread: BOS Celtics +7.5/CLE Cavaliers -7.5
• Over/under: 218.5 points
• Pick: BOS Celtics +7.5 and over 218.5

Philadelphia 76ers (41-22) @ Indiana Pacers (29-36) – 7:00 PM

After a 60+ points performance last game, James Harden and Joel Embiid are back in action tonight as the 76ers visit the Pacers. Philly is currently at third in the East and they want to keep winning in order to climb up the table. The visitors are a better team and are also the favourites tonight, by 7.5 points.

• Spread: PHI 76ers -7.5/IND Pacers +7.5
• Over/under: 232.5 points
• Pick: PHI 76ers -7.5 and over 232.5

Toronto Raptors (32-33) @ Denver Nuggets (45-19) – 9:00 PM

The West leaders host the Raptors tonight for another game of the season. Nikola Jokić will be playing again, so the odds for a triple-double is low, since he records one almost every game. Playing against the current 9 seed of the East, the Nuggets are trying to get their fourth win in a row and are favourites by 5.5 points.

• Spread: TOR Raptors +5.5/DEN Nuggets -5.5
• Over/under: 229.5 points
• Pick: DEN Nuggets -5.5 and under 229.5
