The Denver Nuggets will try to get back into their groove when they lock horns with the slumping New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday at Smoothie King Center.
The Nuggets are the overwhelming favorites at -850 moneyline, but bettors can still gain solid returns on the spreadline market, where Denver is listed at -110 to cover -13.5-points against the Pelicans.
Current Form:
Denver’s seven-game winning streak fell at the hands of the Chicago Bulls, 127-130, on Monday. Nikola Jokic delivered a massive triple-double of 36 points, 18 rebounds, and 13 assists, and Jamal Murray posted 34 points and 11 rebounds. Aaron Gordon also caught fire with 24 points, but they could still not outgun the Bulls, who dropped 40 in the third quarter. Denver remains at No.2 in the Northwest Division with a 10-3 record, second only to the 14-1 OKC Thunder.
The Pelicans suffered a 109-126 beatdown from the Oklahoma City Thunder, plunging to their sixth loss and a 2-12 record after 14 games into the season. With Zion Williamson sitting out with another injury, New Orleans leaned on rookie guard Jeremiah Fears, who scored 24 points on 56.3 FG%. Trey Murphy III tallied 18 points, and Micah Peavy added 16 points off the bench.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Fearless Forecast: After their upset loss to the Bulls, the Nuggets are expected to rebound from this setback in a big way by dismantling the Pelicans, who continue to struggle without Zion Williamson. Jeremiah Fears has been exceptional in his rookie year but it’s obvious the Pelicans don’t have the firepower to outgun elite-level teams with the roster they currently have. Denver is 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games and 4-2 ATS in their last six meetings against the Pelicans. Williamson is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s ball game, yet I am still optimistic that the Nuggets will trounce the Pelicans on the road.
Our betting prediction for the Denver Nuggets vs. the New Orleans Pelicans: the Nuggets -13.5 points
