Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction, Odds & Picks

Once again, people got burned betting on the Nuggets as they fell on the road unexpectedly to the Blazers 126-124, despite being 8.5 point favorites. You just never know what team will show up with Nikola Jokic, he once again had a brilliant game with 34 points on just 18 shots. The rest of the team also shot the ball well, but they just couldn’t get a stop to save their lives. And now they head to New Orleans for a date with a Pelicans team that already beat them 101-94 about a month ago.

Along with the Raptors in the East, New Orleans currently has the longest losing streak in the NBA at 6 games in a row. They scored just 93 points in an 11-point loss to the Knicks last night, with Trey Murphy III the only reliable scoring option with 26 points. It’s hard to find many bright spots for this team right now, they have only covered in 3 out of 9 games and have 1 win in 7 at home. They are also 1-8 SU in 9 vs West teams and have covered once in 9 vs Northwest Division opponents. Only the Wizards have a worse offensive rating, New Orleans is the only team in the league shooting below 50% in effective field goal percentage.

So will the Nuggets stop messing around and take this game seriously? We cannot say for sure. What we do know is that these two teams had just 195 points between them in the first meeting in mid-November. Under has conceded 12 times in 17 meetings, including 5 in a row at the Smoothie King Center. Let’s try our luck here.
