Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets get here with a 10-6 record after beating the Mavericks 98-97 on the road. Bones Hyland scored a career-high 29 points, and Porter Jr. had 12 with his only made 3-pointer in five attempts providing the final scoring. Denver had lost its first two games without Jokic and Gordon. Murray missed both in Dallas after joining Jokic in the health and safety protocols. Gordon has been out with a non-COVID-19 illness.

Detroit Pistons

The Pistons get here with a 3-15 record and are 0-10 on the road ranking 5th in the Central division. In their last game on the road, they lost 129-137 against the Kings. Pistons rookie Jaden Ivey, the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft, had 24 points. Bojan Bogdanovic added 21 points for Detriot, which has lost seven consecutive games and 10 of its last 11.

BETTING TRENDS

Detroit are 8-4 ATS in their last 12 games against Denver.

Detroit are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games against Denver.

Detroit are 0-11 SU in their last 11 games on the road.

Detroit are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Denver.

Denver are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games.

Denver are 10-5 SU in their last 15 games.

Denver are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games at home.

 

Prediction

The Nuggets are struggling without their All Star Nikola Jokic but managed to beat the Mavericks in the second game played in Dallas vs Mavericks. They'll now have an easier game against the short handed Pistons who are currently the worst team in the league and have lost 7 games in a row. Without Cunningham, Saddiq Bey and Stewart it's hard to believe the Pistons can keep this game close. Take the Nuggets to take care of business at home.

PICK: Nuggets -5.5 (-110)
