Here’s a preview of the Denver Nuggets vs. Philadelphia 76ers game, including predictions, probable lineups, and injury updates.
Joel Embiid missed another matchup in Denver, taking away any drama on the first night of the NBA's Rivalry Week. Embiid hasn't played in Denver since 2019.
The Knicks have won five in a row including wins over teams like the Nuggets, Grizzlies, and Kings who have all been surging. New York is sitting at No. 3 in the East and is just a game back of the Celtics for the No. 2 seed. The Knicks are jelling at the right time as they continue to move forward with their season.
Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone gave New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson credit for his great third quarter.
With the Philadelphia 76ers trailing the Sacramento Kings 80-68 in the third quarter, coach Nick Nurse turned to a 3-guard lineup. Nurse has been favoring the combination of Kyle Lowry and Reggie Jackson off the bench as of late and turned to the two proven veterans on Wednesday to join Tyrese Maxey out on the floor.
Denver elected to go with a new starting lineup in the game. They moved Aaron Gordon back into the starting rotation and moved Christian Braun to the bench. Of course, they also kept Russell Westbrook in the starting lineup.
