The Denver Nuggets are hitting their fourth stop on their five-game road trip. Friday's opponents are the Philadelphia 76ers. Denver desperately needs a win as they're on a three-game losing streak.

Friday's matchup is the second and final meeting this regular season. In the last meeting, the Nuggets blew out the 76ers with a 144-109 final score. Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets totaling 27 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, and 4 steals on 67/67/100 shooting splits. Unfortunately for fans, Joel Embiid wasn't available in the last matchup which has been a major talking point when it comes to criticism of Embiid.

Trey Alexander is out due to his two-way contract, Vlatko Cancar is out with left knee surgery rehabilitation, DaRon Holmes II is out due to right achilles tendon repair, and Spencer Jones is out due to his two-way contract.
