Brooklyn Nets vs Denver Nuggets Betting Pick
This game will be played at 10:00 PM ET at Ball Arena
Why bet the Nuggets:
✅ The Brooklyn Nets have lost four straight games, all against playoff caliber teams. Without James Harden, the Nets' offense is still potent, but not quite as dangerous as it was. And without James Harden, the Nets aren't quite as sharp with their ball movement in each game he is out, which has hurt the role players on their roster.
✅ Nikola Jokic is always the most important player for the Nuggets. But Nikola Jokic is even more important in this game, as the Nets are a team that struggles to grab defensive rebounds. If Jokic can create second chances for players like Michael Porter Jr. and Facu Campazzo, the Nuggets are a much more dangerous team.
✅ Offensively, Nikola Jokic is going to present problems for the defense of the Nets. The Nets rank 24th in the NBA in defensive rating heading into this game. And the Nets lack a player on defense who is equipped to deal with the move set of Jokic. DeAndre Jordan is a little too aggressive as a shot blocker to defend Jokic and could find himself in foul trouble.
