Premium Pick

This is Cleveland's first road game in two weeks, and they head to the thin mountain air of the Rockies. This is also their first West Coast swing, a challenging four-game trek. While the Cavs are tied for the most home games played (18) in the NBA, Denver is tied for the fewest home games played (12). Despite that, they're the fifth-best team in the Western Conference behind Nikola Jokic (30.7 ppg, 12.6 rpg, 9.4 apg). They've played nine of the last 12 on the road, winning all three home games, beating Golden State (119-115), the Clippers (120-98), and Phoenix (117-90). The Nuggets are 6-2 ATS as an underdog this season. Play Denver.
