Prediction published on 08/11/2025, 05:16  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 10/11/2025 at 22:00 in NBA Predictions

The in-form Denver Nuggets will host the out-of-form Indiana Pacers when they take to the court next in the NBA. They enter this game with the fourth-best record in the Western Conference, while their visitors are third from the bottom in the East. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

The Nuggets are on the second night of a back-to-back. They defeated the Warriors 129-104 at home on the first night to begin their NBA Cup campaign.

David Adelman’s men have had a strong start to the season. They have won six of eight games and are unbeaten at home with five victories. Nikola Jokic is averaging a triple-double and is among the top favourites for the MVP.

The Pacers have had a disappointing start to the year and could possibly not reach the heights of the past season. It was probably evident, though, with star player Tyrese Haliburton ruled out for the entire season with injury and changes to personnel.

The Pacers have started the season with just one win from eight games. Currently on a two-match skid, Rick Carlisle’s men were defeated at home by fellow strugglers Brooklyn, 112-103, last time out.

For this match, eight players are on the injury report. Aside from Haliburton, Obi Toppin, Johnny Furphy, T.J. McConnell, Kam Jones, and Quenton Jackson have been ruled out. Ben Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard are doubtful.
