In addition to his stellar play, the 76ers are one of the best teams in the NBA. 

They are the third seed in the Eastern Conference with a 49-25 record in 74 games and just 2.5 games back of the Boston Celtics for the second seed. 

Over the last ten games, they are 7-3, but the 76ers are also on a two-game losing streak. 

As for the Nuggets, they are the best team in the Western Conference, with a 50-24 record in 74 games. 

They are 5-5 in their last ten games and in the middle of a three-game winning streak. 

On the road, the 76ers have gone 23-14 in the 37 games they have played outside of Philadelphia, while the Nuggets are an outstanding 31-6 in the 37 games they have hosted on their home floor in Denver. 

Both teams have the talent to make a deep run in the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
