Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets Team Updates

• After getting bounced by the Warriors in the first round of last year’s playoffs, the Denver Nuggets are eager to avenge that loss and compete for a spot in the NBA Finals.
• The biggest reason why the Nuggets are the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference is their talent and depth on the offensive end of the floor. Through 49 games, the Nuggets have seven players averaging at least 11 points per game, which has simultaneously led to Denver posting the second-best Offensive Rating in the NBA (117.2).
• In their most recent 10 games, that rating has stayed about the same (117.5), but Denver’s improvements on the defensive end have put it head and shoulders above the rest of the conference.
• According to NBA.com, the Nuggets own the 14th-best Defensive Rating (113.0), but in their past 10 games that rating has improved to 109.0. In that 10-game stretch, opponents are shooting just 30.3% from behind the arc against Denver, further proof this team is controlling both ends of the floor.
• The only issue facing Denver is the injury report. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Bruce Brown are all listed as a game-time decision. Jokic and Caldwell-Pope are both probable, but Murray and Brown are truly questionable to play.
• Not only have the 76ers won six straight games, but they’re 19-4 since December 9, 2022 — a dominant stretch of basketball.
• Prior to that 23-game stretch, the 76ers were 12-12 and weren’t looking like the Finals contenders many believed they could be prior to the start of the season.
• However, the 76ers are no longer mediocre and have suddenly become the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia’s resurgence can be attributed to a league-leading 119.7 Offensive Rating over the past 23 games. During that stretch, Joel Embiid has led the way, averaging 34.6 points per game.
• However, Philadelphia has also given up some ground on the defensive end of the floor in that stretch. When Philadelphia was just 12-12 it owned the fourth-best Defensive Rating in the NBA (109.5), but in its past 23 games, that rating has risen to 113.2.
• Philadelphia can go shot for shot with anyone in the league, but the 76ers can also be exposed on the defensive end of the floor.
