Nuggets at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 116, Nuggets 111

Moneyline

With how well they perform at home, the CAVALIERS (-140) are the pick here, although betting the spread offers better value. Cleveland is 25-6 at home while Denver is 14-14 on the road.

Against the spread

CAVALIERS -2.5 (-112) is the ideal choice in this game. The Nuggets won’t have Gordon to help defend the Cavaliers’ talented frontcourt duo of F Evan Mobley and C Jarrett Allen.

The Cavaliers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS loss and are 20-10-1 ATS at home.

Over/Under

BET OVER 223.5 (-108).

While the Cavaliers play at the slowest pace in the NBA, both of these teams are top 10 in offensive rating. Denver is also making 51.2% of its shots (best in the NBA) while Cleveland converts 48.9% of its shots (5th-best).

Nuggets at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 121, Magic 112

Moneyline

AVOID.

Even though the Nuggets are expected to win on the road, taking them straight up at the current odds (-240) isn’t advised.

Against the spread

With how well Denver has been playing recently, NUGGETS -6.5 (-110) is the ideal choice in this contest. C Nikola Jokic has produced 4 straight triple-doubles and the Magic won’t have an answer for the All-Star center on Thursday.

The Nuggets have gone 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Denver is also 4-1-1 ATS in its last 6 road meetings against Orlando.

Over/Under

OVER 231.5 (-108) is the lean assuming that Murray is active for the Nuggets. Denver owns the highest offensive rating in the NBA and both of these teams are top 17 in true-shooting percentage.

The Nuggets are 5-0-1 to the Over in their last 6 games overall. On top of that, the Over has hit in each of the last 4 meetings.

Nuggets at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 117, Nuggets 107

Moneyline

PASS.

Taking Milwaukee (-310) to win straight up isn’t worth doing at the current odds.

Against the spread

With the Nuggets playing the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, BUCKS -7.5 (-115) is an enticing bet. This is a spread that makes it seem as if Denver will be without either or both of C Nikola Jokic and G Jamal Murray.

Even though the trends point toward the Nuggets covering, the Bucks have F Giannis Antetokounmpo back and they are at home.

Over/Under

UNDER 233.5 (-108) is how I’d wager on the total in this matchup. Assuming that Denver rests a couple of starters on a back-to-back, there could be less scoring than expected.

The Nuggets have gone 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 games following an ATS loss.

Nuggets at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 114, Pelicans 109

Moneyline

NUGGETS (-115) is where I’d lean even if Jokic is out again. The Nuggets have shown they are one of the deepest teams in the NBA and G CJ McCollum is shouldering a lot for the Pelicans with Ingram and Williamson sidelined.

Against the spread

NUGGETS -1.5 (-105) is how I’d bet on the spread in this contest, though, I’d rather take the moneyline instead. However, this spread does appear to be created with the idea that Jokic will be inactive again.

The Nuggets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road meetings with the Pelicans. The Pelicans are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record.

Over/Under

UNDER 231.5 (-110) is an intriguing bet in this matchup. regardless of Jokic. While the Pelicans are 12th in pace, the Nuggets play at the 10th slowest pace in the NBA this season.

Denver has gone Under in 5 of its last 6 games following an ATS loss and New Orleans has gone Under in 8 of its last 9 games against a team with a winning record. The Under has also hit in 8 of the last 10 meetings between these teams.

Timberwolves at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 124, Timberwolves 114

Moneyline

AVOID.

Betting on the Nuggets (-320) isn’t worth the risk considering the minimal profit you’ll receive if they win.

Against the spread

NUGGETS -8.5 (-102) is where I’m leaning with how Denver has been playing recently. The Timberwolves won’t have an answer for C Nikola Jokic and there’s a chance they are without Edwards, Gobert, and Towns.

The Nuggets are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Over/Under

Assuming the Nuggets have Jokic available on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, OVER 236.5 (-115) is an intriguing bet. Denver is the 2nd in offensive rating while Minnesota is ranked 18th.

The Timberwolves have hit the Over in 5 of their last 6 road games and the Nuggets have hit the Over in 5 straight games on 0 days of rest.

Nuggets at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 114, Clippers 109

Moneyline

Assuming that Jokic is active for Denver on Friday, NUGGETS (+105) is my lean. The Clippers are without George again on Friday and they’ve struggled to win games recently.

Against the spread

NUGGETS +1.5 (-105) is an intriguing bet as long as Jokic is on the floor for Denver. With Jokic’s status unknown, I’d prefer to wager on the spread in this game rather than the moneyline.

The Nuggets are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record while the Clippers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. On top of that, Denver is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 road meetings against Los Angeles.

Over/Under

Regardless of who is active tonight in this game, UNDER 224.5 (-108) appears to be the ideal choice. Both of these teams are in the bottom half of the league in pace.

The Under is 28-8-1 in the last 37 meetings between these 2 teams in Los Angeles and 37-16-2 in the last 55 meetings overall.

Nuggets at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 124, Timberwolves 112

Moneyline

Give me the NUGGETS (-130) despite being on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back. If Denver elects to rest a few starters, then only take the moneyline in this game if you’re confident in them winning despite being potentially shorthanded.

Against the spread

As long as C Nikola Jokic is active, NUGGETS -2.5 (-105) is an enticing bet in this game. The Nuggets are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now while the Timberwolves are struggling to find ways to win games.

The Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall while the Timberwolves are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. On top of that, the Nuggets are 23-5-1 ATS in their last 29 road meetings against the Timberwolves.

Over/Under

Even on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for the Nuggets, OVER 232.5 (-110) is an intriguing wager. The Timberwolves won’t have an answer for Jokic and there’s a chance we see G Jamal Murray return after missing Sunday’s win over the Celtics.

The Nuggets are 4-0 to the Over in their last 4 games following an ATS win. Also, the Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between Denver and Minnesota.

Nuggets at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 124, Kings 116

Moneyline

While the Nuggets should secure a win on the road, PASS on the moneyline in this game. I’d be comfortable taking Denver to win at -140 or better odds, but you can take the Nuggets to come away with a victory in parlays at the current odds.

Against the spread

NUGGETS -3.5 (-108) is an easy choice for me in this game considering how these teams have been playing recently. Also, Sabonis is questionable to play and even if he does play, he’ll be tasked with trying to defend C Nikola Jokic with an injured hand.

Despite all of the trends pointing toward the Kings covering the spread, the Nuggets have won 4 straight meetings and they won by at least 4 points in each of those wins.

Over/Under

Even if Sabonis is ruled out, OVER 238.5 (-110) is an enticing wager with both teams being top 7 in offensive rating. If you aren’t comfortable taking the Over at the current total, you can wait to see if it comes down due to Sabonis’ status.

The Kings have gone Over in 5 of their last 6 home games against a team with a winning road record and are 9-2-1 to the Over in their last 12 home games. The Nuggets and the Kings have also hit the Over in 6 of their last 8 meetings.

Just AVOID the moneyline in this game with the Nuggets being massive favorites at home. Taking Denver straight up clearly isn’t worth doing at the current odds as the return isn’t worth the risk.

Against the spread

While I envision the Nuggets winning, WIZARDS +9.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning in this contest. If Beal returns for Washington, this spread could change.

The Nuggets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss.

Over/Under

UNDER 224.5 (-110) is an intriguing wager in this game due to how these 2 teams play. The Wizards and the Nuggets are both bottom-11 teams in pace this season, so these teams prefer to slow the game down in hopes to get better shots.

The Wizards have gone 3-0-1 to the Under in their last 4 games following a double-digit loss at home. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the Wizards and the Nuggets when the game takes place in Denver.
