Nuggets vs. 76ers Tonight: Playoff Hopes at Stake

The NBA regular season is winding down with less than a month remaining before the final game on Sunday, April 12. Tonight’s doubleheader opens with the Cleveland Cavaliers visiting the Milwaukee Bucks at 8 p.m. ET, followed by the Denver Nuggets against the Philadelphia 76ers at 10 p.m.

ET. The 76ers enter the night as one of the league’s most injury‑plagued teams, forced to play stretches without All‑Stars Joel Embiid (right oblique strain) and Tyrese Maxey (right finger tendon strain). Paul George missed 25 games after a suspension, and other absences—Johni Broome (right knee surgery recovery), Jabari Walker (illness) and perhaps Dalen Terry (left shoulder impingement)—have left Philadelphia slipping into the No.

9 seed and the bottom side of the Play‑In bracket. Denver is in a precarious spot as well. The Nuggets have gone 5‑5 over their last 10 games and face a crowded Western Conference: four games separate No. 3 Los Angeles from No.
