The Nuggets (41-27, 18-13 Home) will host the Philadelphia 76ers (37-31, 17-15 Away) tonight at the Ball Arena in Denver, CO. Fans can follow the action once the game gets underway at 10 p.m. EST on NBC or via the Peacock App.

Denver is returning home for a night after a short two-game road trip last week that saw them beat the Spurs in San Antonio, 136-131, but lose to the Lakers in Los Angeles, 127-125 in overtime. Nikola Jokic had a triple-double against the Spurs (31 points, 20 rebounds, and 12 assists), but Jamaal Murray led the team in scoring with 39 points. Jokic has another triple-double vs. the Lakers (24 points, 16 rebounds, and 14 assists), but Aaron Gordon led on the scoreboard with 27. As for the 76ers, the team will take an unexpected two-game win streak into Denver. Why unexpected? Because with Joel Embiid (injury), Kell Oubre Jr. (injury), Paul George (suspension), and Tyrese Maxey (injury) out, winning is the last thing this team is expected to do. Then again, the wins came against two unimpressive teams, the Brooklyn Nets and Portland Trail Blazers.

This will be the second of two games scheduled between the 76ers and Nuggets this season. Denver won the first in Philadelphia on January 5, 125-125 in overtime.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction

The public is giving the 76ers way too much credit for beating the Nets and Trail Blazers here. Even when they’re healthy, the 76ers have struggled to play consistently well. But with Embiid, Maxey, Oubre Jr. and George out, this team does not stand a chance. Denver is going to crush them.

Our Philadelphia vs. Denver Pick: Nuggets -15.5
