Nuggets vs 76ers Match Prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers' matchup at home against the Denver Nuggets may not be as cut and dry as it appears to be. Although the 76ers homecourt advantage puts them in a good position to win, the Nuggets are an incredibly tenacious team.
With a 20-15 away record, Denver has fared well on the road. Considering their 1-0 lead against the 76ers in their season series, Denver has seen Jokic get the better of Embiid before.
Harden is a major boost to Philadelphia's roster, but Denver could look to take advantage of the 76ers' stagnating offense.
While the game could go either way, it is a lot difficult to bet against the 76ers on their home floor.
