Well, not much has changed for the 76ers, as they still are a bad team that has the fewest wins in the NBA. They have lost 6 of their last 7 games including their last 4.
The Nuggets have won 2 in a row after dropping a couple in a row and they are big double-digit home favorites against a woeful 76ers team that only has 7 wins on the season.
In their last games the Nuggets beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 105-103 and the 76ers lost to the Utah Jazz 100-83.

The long ball was key in the Jazz loss, as Utah shot 57.7% from beyond the 3-pt arc while Philly only shot 25%. In the 4th quarter of the game the 76ers were only 4/23 from the floor.
In the Jazz game Jahlil Okafor went for 13 points on 6/15 shooting and while only 2 starters went for double figures Nerlens Noel and Dario Saric each came of the bench to go for 14 points.
The 76ers were without leading scorer Joel Embiid for the Jazz game because of rest, but he should go in this game.
The 76ers are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games facing the Nuggets in Denver.

Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets rank a solid 7th in the league in points per game, but only 26th in opponents’ points per game.
In the win over the Timberwolves the Nuggets used a big 3rd quarter, outscoring Minnesota 32-24, to propel them to the 2-point win. For the game the Nuggets shot a solid 51.9% from the floor while holding the T-Wolves to 44.7% shooting.
One of the main reasons the Timberwolves stayed in the game is that they had 15 offensive boards and the Nuggets committed 15 turnovers.
The Nuggets had balance in the win over Minnesota with all 5 starters going for at least 11 points led by Danilo Gallinari, who went for 18 points.
Gallinari leads the Nuggets in scoring (16.9 ppg) and while Denver does have 6 players that are averaging at least 12 ppg their issues this season has been on the defensive end of the court.
However, facing a 76ers team that has had issues scoring the rock this season that may not hurt them in this game.
