Denver Nuggets vs Philadelphia 76ers Preview

The Nuggets have been on the right track

The Nuggets enter the contest after a 13-point win against the Orlando Magic as Nikola Jokic notched his 18th triple-double of the season. They have won 10 out of their last 13 games and are steadily closing in on the third seed in the West while being in striking distance of the second spot. Jokic has meshed brilliantly with Russell Westbrook as the latter’s energy has been crucial. Meanwhile, the sharpshooting quartet of Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, and Michael Porter Jr. has been stellar too. They are shooting just over 50% from the field, making them the most efficient team at the time of writing.

The 76ers enduring another underwhelming season

The 76ers come into this game after suffering a 14-point loss against the Milwaukee Bucks despite a 37-point outburst by Tyrese Maxey. They have lost six games in a row and 9 out of their last 11 games. Joel Embiid’s absence has once again caused fractures in the lineup. Paul George has improved his play to support Maxey but that hasn’t been enough to alleviate the shortcomings of the frontline. The 76ers are looking at another failed season and Joel Embiid may look for a change of scenery in the upcoming off-season.
