New Orleans Pelicans vs Denver Nuggets Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Kennedy Kechula | in NBA Predictions
The Denver Nuggets will be away to the spiraling New Orleans Pelicans, seeking a return to winning ways in the NBA. They come into this match in sixth place in the Western Conference while their hosts are 11 games behind in last place. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Pelicans are coming off a 104-93 loss at home to the Knicks. They have now lost six in a row and 24 in total this season. Willie Green’s men have struggled due to injuries and at no point in time this season have they been at full strength.
Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, Jose Alvarado, Karlo Matkovic, and Daniel Theis are out for this game.
The Nuggets lost the first season matchup with the Pels with a depleted squad back in November. They will now seek to dish out the same treatment as they seek to return to winning ways.
Mike Malone’s men saw a three-match winning run end away to the Blazers last time out. The Nuggets, who could have moved to four games over .500 with a win, were defeated 126-124.
Dario Saric is a doubt for this game while Vlatko Cancar and Da’Ron Holmes are out. The Nuggets are averaging 119.4 points a game which is the fourth-best tally this season.
