Denver at Brooklyn

The Denver Nuggets won a five-year season-high wins last season at 46. Despite finishing 10 games over .500, the Nuggets did not make the playoffs in the rugged NBA West. They vowed that would not happen this year, and they have been one of the most improved teams in the NBA at 37-16. The West has often had the advantage vs. the East and the Nuggets are 7-1 SU vs. the East in their last eight. Brooklyn has played so much better lately despite a key injury, however, injuries could be catching up to them as they have dropped four of their last five and each of their last three. The Nuggets are the superior team here and the line is just too short. Play on Denver.
