Denver Nuggets vs Philadelphia: prediction for the NBA match
In the face-to-face meetings of these teams in the last 28 matches, the outcomes are parity. The Denver Nuggets and the Philadelphia 76ers have 14 wins each. Last season, the rivals met twice and both games of the NBA regular season were won by the Nuggets with a score 115:103 away and 104:95 at home.
Denver Nuggets
After a series of vague matches, Quincy Snyder’s wards finally managed to win a landslide victory. In the last match the jazzmen defeated Philadelphia at home (120:85). Rudy Gobert’s solid performance did not allow the Sixers’ attack to unfold. On account of the center “Utah” there are 15 points and 17 rebounds. The Jazz have always been considered the home team. At Vivint Smart Home Arena, they manage to show a good game. For example, this season the musicians have lost only two meetings on their own parquet with Indiana (100: 111) and Miami (105: 111).
Philadelphia 76ers
Philadelphia continues to play without Joel Embiid. Recent matches demonstrate very well the role of the Cameroonian in the tactical schemes of Doc Rivers’ team. The Sixers can’t do anything without him. The Seventy-sixths have already lost five matches in a row. It is unlikely that they will be able to rectify the situation anytime soon. Philadelphia is not to be envied, because their calendar is not the easiest now. In recent matches, the Pennsylvania team played with Indiana and Utah. Now the Sixers will meet with Denver.
Prediction
Denver are one of the slowest teams in the league. At home, the nuggets concede 94 points on average. It is unlikely that Philadelphia will be able to open the Nuggets' defensive redoubts. With Utah, who play in a similar style, the Sixers have 85 points. We are waiting for something similar this time. It would be very difficult to play successfully without Embiid. Our prediction is that the total is under 212 points for the odds of 1.79 in the bookmaker's office 1xBet. When Embiid was injured, Philadelphia's performance deteriorated. As a rule, Doc Rivers' players lose with a big difference in the score and this match is likely to be no exception. The second prediction is for a handicap "Denver" (-5.5) points for 1.65.
