Every day, The Denver Gazette sports staff will publish its best bets:

1. 76ers at Nuggets (-5.5, -110): Denver at home looking to avenge the earlier loss in Philly. A motivated Nuggets team wins.

2. South Carolina women (-15, -110) against Maryland: South Carolina seems to be the best bet in sports right now. They are unstoppable.

3. San Diego State (-1.5, -110) against Florida Atlantic: Early line favors the Aztecs. I have been picking them all tourney.

Chris Schmaedeke’s Best Bets record ATS: 111-96
