Game Preview
The fact that the Sixers have six losses in a row and an overall record of 15 wins and 26 defeats this year tells much about their form. Joel Embiid didn’t play throughout most of the season, and we believe that it’s time for the franchise from Philly to seriously think about his trade.
What’s very important for the 76ers in this case is that they went 0-8 against the spread in the recent eight matches. All those who bet on NBA should know this.
On the other side are the Denver Nuggets. They reached the No.4 seed in the West and are 7-3 over the recent 10 matches. As time goes by, the 2023 NBA champions are improving their form.
Denver Nuggets are 6-1 straight up in the last seven games. They are also 6-1 against the spread during this stretch. So overall, the Nuggets are accelerating and getting ready for the final part of the campaign.
