The Denver Nuggets defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 106 - 98, at Wells Fargo Center on Monday. The Nuggets (8 - 13) checked in to Monday's contest having recorded four of their seven victories on the road, and they found a way to continue their success away from home against a Sixers (4 - 17) squad missing starting small forward Robert Covington (knee/illness). Danilo Gallinari led the way with 24 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block. He got to the foul line a game - high 12 times, converting 11 of those opportunities into points. His effort keyed a 46 percent effort from the field overall from the Nuggets, who snapped a three - game losing streak. Barton checked in right behind Gallinari with a full stat line of 22 points, eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks. Jusuf Nurkic was only able to provide a modest eight points but did haul in 10 rebounds. Emmanuel Mudiay and Kenneth Faried combined for just six points, but Jamal Murray led the bench with a 22 - point effort that also included three rebounds and two assists and helped make up for the scoring void overall. Wilson Chandler was also productive in a reserve role, tallying 10 points. The Sixers were led by a pair of 17 - point efforts from Ersan Ilyasova and Sergio Rodriguez, with the former adding eight rebounds, two assists and two steals and the latter supplying seven assists, four rebounds and three steals. Joel Embiid posted 16 points, four boards and an assist, while Gerald Henderson poured in 14 points and added five rebounds, three steals and an assist. Dario Saric paced the second unit with 17 points, eight rebounds and a steal, and Richaun Holmes registered 11 points, eight rebounds, an assist and two blocks. The Nuggets will continue on their Northeast trek and visit the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, while the Sixers hit the road on Tuesday to take on the Grizzlies.
