Detroit Pistons at Denver Nuggets picks and predictions
The Detroit Pistons (3-15) visit Ball Arena Tuesday to face the Denver Nuggets (10-6). Tip-off is at 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook's lines around the Pistons vs. Nuggets odds, and our expert NBA picks and predictions.
The Pistons enter on a 7-game losing skid, although to their credit they only lost by double digits once along that span. Detroit fell 137-129 to a surging Sacramento Kings Sunday despite having the lead with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter.
The Nuggets went into Dallas and barely held on for a 98-97 win against the Mavericks Sunday, although they were missing C Nikola Jokic. Denver needs a win here against a banged-up Pistons team to keep pace in the Northwest Division standings.

Nuggets 116, Pistons 113
Moneyline
The Nuggets (-220) are certainly the better team but they probably won't have their 2 best players. The spread is the better bet here, I would AVOID the moneyline.
