The 31-15 Denver Nuggets will host the 33-11 Detroit Pistons in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Ahead of making a prediction on the match, the Nuggets are 3rd in the West while the Pistons are top of the East.

The Nuggets are 8-3 in their last 11 games but they are just 2-3 in that time at Ball Arena. Only four teams in the West have won fewer home games than the Nuggets and they are all outside of the postseason spots.

In their last two at home, the Charlotte Hornets and the Los Angeles Lakers have both taken the win, losing to the former who are 12th in the East by 23 points is their worst home performance of the season. 

Detroit exploded offensively in their most recent outing, putting up 139 points on the Sacramento Kings. That is the second most points that they have scored in a game so far this season.

The Nuggets are only 17th in terms of fewest points conceded, so this look another excellent opportunity for the Pistons to rack up plenty of points. They are 14-6 on the road this season, winning three straight away from the Motor City ahead of this contest.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Detroit Pistons Prediction

Wins at home have been a struggle to come by for the Denver Nuggets and a visit from the team at the top of the East does not make things any easier for them. Detroit finally found their scoring firepower in a win at the Sacramento Kings and they look more than capable of heaping more misery onto a Nuggets team who have suffered home defeat to a pair of far lesser Eastern teams recently. Our Denver Nuggets vs Detroit Pistons prediction is the Detroit Pistons -6.5.
