Smart Game Analysis
Philadelphia 76ers has a 78% chance of winning the game
With Nikola Jokic sidelined and the Nuggets struggling on a long road trip, the 76ers are poised to extend their winning streak at home.
Key Analysis
- • Nikola Jokic is confirmed out with a knee injury, removing Denver's primary playmaker and rebounder.
- • Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey face a depleted Nuggets frontcourt that is also missing Jonas Valanciunas.
- • Denver's defense has been porous, allowing 127 points in their last loss and 118.1 per game on the season.
- • The 76ers have won three consecutive games, scoring 123, 139, and 130 points in that span.
- • Philadelphia's Tyrese Maxey is averaging 31.1 points per game and leads an offense that a Jokic-less Denver will struggle to match.
- • The Nuggets must rely on Jamal Murray to carry the scoring load and shoot efficiently from deep to remain competitive.
