<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.denverstiffs.com/">Denver Nuggets</a> were unable to win their fourth straight road victory, dropping a game to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.libertyballers.com/">Philadelphia 76ers</a>, 110-99. It was a tough night for <span>Carmelo Anthony</span>, who shot 3-of-12 from the field. He went 2-of-5 from beyond the arc and made all four free throws to finish with 12 points. <span>Chauncey Billups</span> led the team with 27 points, five assists and three rebounds. <span>J.R. Smith</span> contributed 23 points, nine rebounds and three steals from off the bench.</p>

<p>The Nuggets (28-19, 8-14 away) head immediately to New Jersey on Jan. 31 to close out the month. They will face the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/new-jersey-nets">Nets</a>, who pulled out of a <a target="_blank" href="http://denver.sbnation.com/2010/6/23/1532523/carmelo-anthony-nuggets-contract-extension-rumor">proposed Carmelo Anthony mega-deal</a> when <a target="_blank" href="http://denver.sbnation.com/denver-nuggets/2011/1/20/1947372/mikhail-prokhorov-press-conference-carmelo-anthony-deal-nuggets">Russian owner Mikhail Prokhorov</a> said the deal-making had cost the Nets too much and was not worth pursuing any longer. The Nets are 14-34 this season, already an improvement on last season's 12-70 record.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.denverstiffs.com/">Denver Nuggets</a> face the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.libertyballers.com/">Philadelphia 76ers</a> this afternoon during their current Eastern time zone road swing. Having won the first three of five games, Denver looks to improve its 8-13 road record against a sub-.500 Sixer squad.</p>
<p>In victories over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bulletsforever.com/">Washington Wizards</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.detroitbadboys.com/">Detroit Pistons</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthesword.com/">Cleveland Cavaliers</a>, Denver has averaged a shade over 115 points per game while being led by <span>Carmelo Anthony</span>’s 24.7 and <span>Arron Afflalo</span>’s 19.3 averages.</p>
<p>Combining the three road wins with the last game Denver won at home, the Nuggets currently are riding a four game win streak, which is tied for Denver’s second longest win streak this season. A victory today, and a loss by the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.welcometoloudcity.com/">Oklahoma City Thunder</a> to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.hothothoops.com/">Miami Heat</a>, will pull the Nuggets within one game of the top of the Northwest Division in the Western Conference.</p>
<p><span>Elton Brand</span> leads the Sixers in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots.</p>
<p>Philly currently holds a two game win streak over the Nuggets, but in neither of those losses did Melo play.</p>
