Betting on the Denver Nuggets
- Regular Season Record: 34-15
The Denver Nuggets, as expected, suffered greatly from the absence of Nikola Jokić, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr. in their loss to the Bucks.. For now, it is expected that all of them will be available against the 76ers.
Collectively, the Nuggets are first in the entire NBA in three-point shooting percentage at 39.5%. They are second with 50.7% shooting from the field, which shows how effective the offense of the team led by Michael Malone has been.
Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Regular Season Record: 31-16
After a loss to Houston on December 5, the Philadelphia 76ers fell to 12-12 on the season. Since then, they have won 19 of their last 23 games, taking them into second place in the Eastern Conference.
One move that has worked well for coach Doc Rivers is to use Tyrese Maxey off the bench. In the team’s most recent game against the Nets, the young point guard led the team in points with 27 and has given the 76ers an excellent dynamic in that sixth man role.
JefeBet Prediction
This will be the first duel of the season between 76ers vs Nuggets. The second match will take place at the end of March in Denver.
Considering that these are two offenses that have been performing at a high level throughout the season, at JefeBet we are leaning towards a high-scoring matchup and a great battle between Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokić, two of the leading candidates for the MVP award.
Prediction: Over.
