Philadelphia 76ers vs Denver Nuggets: Current situation
This recent 4-game win streak has done wonders for the confidence of the Philadelphia 76ers. Without Joel Embiid and Paul George on most nights, the team has flourished under the guidance of Tyrese Maxey who is really making a name for himself. At 19-27 the 76ers are now tied with the Bulls for the 10th seed in the East percentage wise, with the way things are going there is a real possibility they can catch Atlanta in the 9th seed as they’ve dropped 6 games in a row.
The Nuggets have hit a bit of a rough patch losing 3 straight games, losing ground in the Western Conference race for the 2nd seed. As things stand the Nuggets would face the Lakers in the opening round of the playoffs, I’m sure most fans wouldn’t mind that considering their record in recent years against LA. There is still a lot of work to do though, Jokic and co. need to turn this losing streak around fast because if they don’t, they’ll drop even further in the standings.
Philadelphia 76ers Stats & Form
The Sixers overcame Sacramento in their latest win on Wednesday 117-104, overcoming all 5 Kings starters scoring in double-figures. Maxey was once again the leader with 30 points and 8 assists on 50% shooting. He also got help from 4 other Sixers players who scored in double figures, as a team Philly shot over 52% from the field and won despite losing the rebounding battle by 11.
Denver Nuggets Stats & Form
During this 3-game win streak the Nuggets are allowing an average of 128 points per game which is the highest mark in the NBA. Despite the loss at MSG on Wednesday, they can take something positive out of that one – Jamal Murray had one of his best games of the season finishing with 33 points which is not something we see often these days. Russell Westbrook also added 14 points and 14 rebounds in the loss.
Philadelphia 76ers vs Denver Nuggets: Head-to-Head
We haven’t had a team sweep the regular season series since the 2020-21 season when the Nuggets did it. The two teams have exchanged wins and losses ever since, Denver has a slight edge with 6 wins over the past 10 games head-to-head. Friday’s game will be the 100th regular season meeting all-time, Philadelphia still holds a lead with 54 wins to Denver’s 45 wins.

Betting tip and prediction: Philadelphia 76ers vs Denver Nuggets (31.01.2025)
These two teams played each other just a week ago, since then the situation has turned around completely around both teams. Philadelphia is on a 4-game win streak which started after that loss to the Nuggets at Ball Arena. Denver just dropped a 3rd straight game on Wednesday at New York, this current road trip has been a disaster for them. Defensively they’ve just not been there, allowing 133, 129 and 122 points. Despite that they remain huge favorites against the 76ers here, that might be due to the fact that the Nuggets have won 6 of the last 9 meetings and have covered the spread in 6 of 9 road games overall. For Philadelphia the key will be Tyrese Maxey once again. With Paul George and Joel Embiid out of the line-up, the burden of carrying this franchise has fallen on the shoulders of the talented shooting guard and he has responded. Maxey is averaging 32 points per game in his last 9 outings, he’s just cleared the 30-point line in 3 straight games. Will that be enough against the Nuggets? Maxey will most likely have to go over the 40 point mark if the 76ers are to have a chance here. Despite the positive run that they are on right now, the Sixers will struggle to contain Nikola Jokic here as two of their main options below the rim are unavailable. Jokic finished with 27 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in the first meeting a little over a week ago, expect similar numbers here and a Nuggets win.
