Our Denver Nuggets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
Cleveland is playing solid basketball right now and will likely just get more lethal on the offensive end of the court with James Harden now in the lineup (assuming he can get along and not have to be the center of attention). But if Denver has Nikola Jokic and Jamaal Murray on the court, the Nuggets are a force to be reckoned with. It should be a great game where either team will have a chance to win. But for betting purposes, the best bet is clear with these two teams.
Our Cleveland vs. Denver Pick: OVER 239.5
