We're in for an intriguing match up as New Orleans Pelicans welcome Denver Nuggets to the Smoothie King Center. Neither of these sides have enjoyed particularly good starts to their 26/27 campaigns, although Nuggets hold a much more impressive Last 6 record than their next opponents. Nuggets have won four of their last six and head into this one on the back of a 123-118 win away at Memphis Grizzlies.
As for the Pelicans, they're struggling at the moment. They've lost their last five matches and head into this game after heavy defeats at home to the Grizzlies and Brooklyn Nets. Nuggets are the clear favourites to win this game and we can't really disagree with the sportsbooks here.
For our prediction, we're finding it difficult to see anything other than a comfortable Nuggets victory. We're picking Pelicans to continue to struggle in this one. We're looking at the Spread and Nuggets -12.5.
