Nuggets 113, Nets 108

Moneyline

PASS.

Denver should pick up the win here, but a -175 favorite is not worth the risk of betting on. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.

Denver has covered in back-to-back meetings with Brooklyn and is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 meetings with the Nets. The Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 overall while the Nets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 overall.
