Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Carlos Zabala | in NBA Picks
With a 3-9 record and a long list of injuries that includes Williamson, Alvarado, McCollum, Jones, Murray and Hawkins, the Pelicans host the Nuggets on Friday who will come to the Smoothie King Center with a 5-game winning streak and a 7-3 record.
This will be the first NBA game for them that counts towards the NBA Cup. Surprisingly, the Nuggets have not played since November 10th, while the Pelicans' last game was on November 13th in their fifth consecutive loss to the Thunder.
For Friday's game, even on the road, the Nuggets will be favored over the Pelicans by 8.5 points at the betting sites. This season, only in two of the 10 times have the Pelicans managed to cover the spread. In the two times they were underdogs by 8.5 points or more, they also failed to cover.
In the Nuggets' last game against the Mavericks, Porter Jr. scored the game-winning basket at the end, while Jokic led the team with 37 points, 18 rebounds and 15 assists. This was his fourth consecutive triple-double for the Serbian.
