Our Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
The Nuggets have won 11 of their last 12 home games, and seven of those wins came by seven points or more. The Pelicans, on the other hand, have lost nine straight on the road and have not won in Denver since March 2023.
Their last five visits to Ball Arena ended in defeats of 12 points or more. And Denver's three wins over New Orleans in 2025-26 averaged 15.7 points. That margin is comfortably above the 6.5-point handicap at 1.50 odds. Hence, our Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Pelicans prediction is Denver Nuggets -6.5 handicap.
