The Cleveland Cavaliers will head to Ball Arena to face the Denver Nuggets in the NBA on Monday. The Nuggets (34-19) are third in the Western Conference standings, while the Cavs (32-21) are fourth in the East. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Denver Nuggets will be looking to build up some momentum now after bringing an end to their ugly three-game slide with a 136-120 victory over the Bulls on Saturday night.
Nikola Jokic recorded his second triple-double in a row since returning from injury, while Jamal Murray led the team with 28 points. The Nuggets rank top in offensive efficiency but 24th on the defensive end, something they have to improve to challenge for the title.
Denver are 14-8 at home but have lost their last three against this opponent, including their only match this season, 113-108 last month.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been one of the form sides of late, winning 10 of their last 12 games and their third in a row against the Kings (132-126) on Saturday.
James Harden made his debut for the franchise in that match and put up 23 points, including five threes off eight shots. Donovan Mitchell led the team with 35 points, and Jarrett Allen added 29.
The Cavs are 15-10 on the road this season. They will be without Max Strus and Evan Mobley, while Dean Wade is a doubt.
