Philadelphia 76ers Form

Philadelphia head to Denver in miserable form, having now lost each of their previous six games.

The 76ers began 2025 with back-to-back defeats, before sandwiching a 109-99 loss to Phoenix with wins at Brooklyn, 123-94, and against Washington, 109-103.

They have not won since though, beginning this six-game skid with a 123-115 home defeat at the hands of New Orleans.

Philadelphia then lost 104-99 in Orlando, before returning home for losses at the hands of Oklahoma City, 118-102, and New York, 125-119 in overtime.

The 76ers then went back out on the road to drop two more, losing 115-102 in Indiana and 123-109 at Milwaukee.

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver return home on a good run of form, having now won 10 of their previous 13 games.

The Nuggets ended 2024 with back-to-back wins, and then opened 2025 with a 139-120 victory when they hosted Atlanta.

They dropped two of the next three, but responded strong with a run of four consecutive victories, starting with a 126-103 win over the LA Clippers.

Denver then beat Brooklyn 124-105 at home, before heading out on the road to win back-to-back meetings with Dallas, 112-101 and 118-99.

The Nuggets failed to make it five-in-a-row as they lost 128-108 to Houston, but they rebounded quickly to win 133-113 in Miami and 113-100 at Orlando.

Verdict

Philadelphia are in terrible form and are short-handed for this matchup, missing several players including Joel Embiid.

That spells trouble against an in-form Denver team that are at full health.
