Prediction

This will be the second matchup between the two teams this season. In their first meeting, the Pelicans stunned the Nuggets with a 101-94 victory at home. However, the Nuggets have been gradually regaining their form in recent games, while the Pelicans are on a six-game losing streak and in extremely poor condition. Furthermore, the Pelicans are still struggling with a significant number of injuries. Currently, the Nuggets are in 6th place in the Western Conference, a position that is clearly not good enough for them, while the Pelicans are at the bottom of the West and likely aiming for a “tank” season. Therefore, I expect the Nuggets to comfortably win by a large margin on the road.

Pick: Nuggets -9.0 (bet365)
