The Philadelphia 76ers are set to kick off their 3-game road trip in Denver on Tuesday night, facing off against the formidable Denver Nuggets. With the Sixers battling to climb back into the top six of the Eastern Conference for a guaranteed playoff spot, this matchup holds significant weight. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are keen to stay clear of the play-in tournament in the Western Conference.
Philadelphia will be without key players Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, among others, which means they'll need to rely on their depth to secure a road victory. The starting lineup features VJ Edgecombe, Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards, Dominick Barlow, and Adem Bona. This group will have the daunting task of going up against Nikola Jokic and his squad, aiming to pull off an upset to kickstart their road trip on a high note.
The game is set to tip off at 10 p.m. EDT on Tuesday. Following their clash with the Nuggets, the Sixers will head to California to face the Sacramento Kings on Thursday, before wrapping up their trip on Saturday against the Utah Jazz.
