The Nuggets and 76ers meet for the second time this season at Wells Fargo Center. Denver dominated the first matchup, winning 144-109 at Ball Arena on January 21, powered by Nikola Jokic’s 27-point, 13-rebound, 10-assist triple-double.

PREVIEW

Phoenix and Golden State, both with 24 wins in the season, meet at Chase Center for their third matchup of the season.

Each team has defended home court in their previous meetings, with the home team winning the last five matchups between these squads.

Golden State enters this contest after a 116-109 upset win over Oklahoma City at home, fueled by Andrew Wiggins’ 27 points and five three-pointers (tying his season high) on 10-17 shooting. The Warriors will look to build on that momentum and improve their disappointing 1-9 record in their last 10 division games.

Phoenix saw its three-game winning streak snapped in a 121-113 loss to Minnesota at Footprint Center. Kevin Durant led the way with 33 points, seven assists, and four blocks, while Devin Booker added 28 points and eight assists. The Suns will aim to bounce back and secure their first road win in this season series.
