PREVIEW

The 76ers and Nuggets meet for the first time this season at Ball Arena.

Last season’s series saw the home team prevail in both matchups, with Denver claiming their win in dominant fashion.

The Nuggets come into this game on a high note, having defeated Orlando 113-100, led by Nikola Jokic’s all-around brilliance with 20 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, three steals, and three blocks on 7-9 shooting. Denver has now won seven straight when Jokic dishes out 10+ assists.

Philadelphia continues to struggle, falling 123-109 to Milwaukee on Sunday. Tyrese Maxey shone with 37 points, six rebounds, seven assists, and six triples, but the 76ers were once again without Joel Embiid (out) and Paul George (questionable). The loss extended Philadelphia’s skid to six games, their longest since 2017, as they search for answers on both ends of the court.
