Our Detroit Pistons vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Nuggets drop the Pistons on the road, 117-110
Reason: The Nuggets now have the personnel to take down the No.1 team in the East with the return of Nikola Jokic from a long injury layoff. Jokic, who did not play in the Nuggets’ narrow loss to the Pistons 107-109 on January 27, recorded 31 points and 12 rebounds in a win vs. the Clippers and then posted 16 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists in the loss to OKC. Jokic presents a nightmare of a matchup for the Pistons’ frontline, even against All-Star big man Jalen Duren, because of his ability to impact the game in different areas. Denver is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games against Detroit and 10-5 SU in its last 15 games.
Our betting prediction for the Denver Nuggets vs. the Detroit Pistons: The Nuggets will win.
