Denver Nuggets vs Philadelphia 76ers: Current situation
The Nuggets successfully conquered Florida in their last 2 games by beating the Heat 133-113 and then Orlando 113-100. Head coach Michael Malone has finally figured out the best starting line-up, Aaron Gordon has been benched in favor of Russell Westbrook who is turning back the clock and flourishing in the starters role. Denver is 7-3 SU in their last 10 games, this has them only 2.5 games back from the 2nd seeded Rockets in the West.
The 76ers only wish they had the depth and injury luck of the Denver Nuggets. Philadelphia is on one of its worst runs of the season having lost 6 games in a row, this team has not covered the spread in 8 straight. Joel Embiid is once again out for at least a week dealing with knee issues, he will miss yet another game in Denver where he hasn’t played since 2019.
Denver Nuggets Stats & Form
It was Nikola Jokic once again that led the way for Denver in their latest win as he notched a triple double of 20 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. Christian Braun added 20, as the Nuggets shot 51.3% from the field in a 13-point win over Orlando. Denver dominated the boards recording 17 more rebounds, despite giving up 16 of them on offense.
Philadelphia 76ers Stats & Form
Defensively the 76ers were nowhere to be found in their latest loss at Milwaukee. Tyrese Maxey carried the offense with 37 points, but with Paul George, Kyle Lowry, Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond all out it was hard to compete against the strong Bucks. Help should be on the way on Tuesday with George making a comeback, but with the way these 76ers are playing right now even that might not be enough for them to be competitive against these Nuggets.
Denver Nuggets vs Philadelphia 76ers: Head-to-Head
Joel Embiid ducking this match-up has resulted in the Nuggets winning 6 of the last 10 meetings. Interestingly enough the games played at Ball Arena have been on the lower scoring side, with the under cashing in 5 straight games. This will be the 99th meeting all-time in the regular season between the two teams, Philadelphia still holds the edge with 54 wins to 44 by the Nuggets.
Denver Nuggets – Philadelphia 76ers Odds
The Nuggets are massive favorites, because of this you can get them at odds of just 2/9 to win here. Meanwhile, if you like the shorthanded 76ers you can get odds of 11/5 for a road victory.
The point total has been set at 223.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Denver Nuggets vs Philadelphia 76ers (21.01.2025)
It’s really hard to find a single reason why someone would back the 76ers in this game. Philly had big ambitions heading into this season, but injuries have played a key role so far and they just haven’t been able to have any success. Some analysts are even saying they would be better off just tanking the rest of the year as this season has already been lost. Tyrese Maxey still hasn’t given up, he is a nightly threat to drop 30+ points, but most of those games are coming in losing efforts. Meanwhile, the Nuggets have everything left to play for. The addition of Westbrook to the starting line-up has completely changed the dynamic for them. Nikola Jokic no longer has to exert himself every single night, he still gets to his numbers but with a lot less effort thanks to Westbrook. Denver has impressed on the defensive end lately, they are keeping opponents below 34% shooting from three-point land in their last 3 games. We just saw them grab 63 rebounds in the win over Orlando, without Embiid and Drummond down low for Philly, Jokic will have a field day scoring the ball here. Don’t be surprised if the Serbian goes for 40 points here, Denver should dominate this game right from the tip-off. We’re backing the home team in this one.
