Welcome to Lockdown Nuggets, your daily Denver Nuggets podcast by the Lockdown Network.

Your team every day.

It's Friday.

This is a truncated episode.

We're going to do a short one on the Philadelphia-S 70s Sixers game as kind of a preview.

For the Nuggets Battle of the night,

I'm gonna touch on three quick elements for tonight.

Do a little bit of a short episode,

and then for the weekend, I will have a complete wrap-up

of that game and like some other coverage tonight,

post-game, big picture stuff.

I'll do that from pepsi center

tonight so be sure to check the feeds on that but i did want to go ahead and get one up for you

today as kind of a late afternoon check-in before this game of the sixers so the philadelphia 76ers

are in town to take on the nuggets uh the nuggets are a five-point favorite in most spots. That's not unexpected given that Ben Simmons is out.

So I expected with Simmons and that's probably truncates that down to probably like a three point, maybe three and a half.

He's not worth two points of the spread, probably a point and a half.

Simmons is a big deal in this matchup though because the Sixers have, this is their team

model.

Joel Embed is big.

You may have heard of him.

He's a big man.
