Atlanta Hawks vs Denver Nuggets Prediction & Picks - NBA

Prediction published on 1/9/26, 5:34 PM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 1/9/26 at 11:15 PM in NBA Picks

The Nuggets host the Hawks at Ball Arena in NBA regular-season action. David Adelman's men are confirming their status with one of the best records in the league. Defensively, Denver remains solid and disciplined, particularly on defense and rotations. Offensively, the team's play is fluid and well-oiled. Recent results show a team that is very difficult to maneuver, with wins in Philadelphia and Boston without Nikola Jokic. Everyone seems to be on the same page in Colorado. With a record of 25 wins and 12 losses, Denver is establishing itself as a serious contender for the title.

The Hawks are having a frustrating season, constantly alternating between good performances and incomprehensible losses. Defensively, the team lacks consistency and leaves too much space. Offensively, Atlanta is capable of very effective sequences, but not over the entire duration of several games. The last few weeks have shown an inconsistent team. With a record of 18 wins and 21 losses, Quin Snyder's men are still in contention for a play-in spot. Of note is the transfer of Trae Young to Washington, marking the end of an era for the Hawks.
