The Cleveland Cavaliers look to tighten their grip on the No.1 spot in the Eastern Conference standings as they duke it out with the Denver Nuggets on Friday at Ball Arena. The Cavaliers have captured five consecutive wins and nine of their last 10 games. They earned their 17th home win of the season after ripping the Utah Jazz 124-113. Darius Garland starred in the game, finishing with 23 points on 8-for-14 shooting. Evan Mobley, Sam Merrill and Donovan Mitchell also scored at least 20 each as the Cavaliers improved their record to a league-best 26-4. The Nuggets lost their Christmas Day rematch with the Phoenix Suns, 110-100. Nikola Jokic put up 25 points and 15 rebounds and Michael Porter Jr. tallied 22 points. However, the Nuggets made just 8 of their 29 shot attempts from the three-point area and turned the ball over 16 times.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Cavaliers blasted the Nuggets 126-114 in their first meeting this season at Rocket Mortgage Arena. Cleveland is a solid team on the road this season at 9-3 and 8-4 ATS. Another advantage the Cavs have in this match is their healthy starting five led by their dynamic backcourt duo Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland. On the other hand, Aaron Gordon remains out with an injury while Jamal Murray is listed a game-time decision. Jokic is a phenomenal all-around talent but without a steady supporting cast his team will not stand a chance against elite teams like the Cavs. Our betting prediction for the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Denver Nuggets: Cavs will cover -2.5 points.
