Prediction for the NBA Philadelphia 76ers vs Denver Nuggets match which will take place on January 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Seventy Sixers' last few games have shown that Joel Embiid's presence on the court is crucial to the team's effectiveness. The Cameroonian has played convincingly in the previous two meetings, and Philadelphia has won. The first team, Nick Nurse, coped with Sacramento - 112:93 and Houston - 124:115.

The Nuggets have also played their last two games at home in Ball Arena, where Denver is challenging to beat. Michael Malone's team has been winning as expected, and they have managed to beat opponents from the playoff zone of their conferences. First, Denver beat New Orleans 125:113 and then Indiana 117:109.

At the end of the first half of the regular season, the Nuggets are in third place in the Western Conference with a record of 28:13. Denver is putting up even better numbers than they did in their last championship season, averaging 116.2 points per game compared to 115.8 last season and shooting 111.0 compared to 112.5 last season.

Philadelphia is one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference, and the 76ers have only six losses in 21 home games. But Denver is also one of the top teams in the West, and at the end of the first half of the regular season, the Nuggets had won over 50% of their games at home - 11:9. Therefore, we think the odds on Michael Malone's team is overvalued.
