New Orleans at Denver

The Denver Nuggets are chasing the eighth and final playoff entry in the West, trailing the Portland trailblazers by 1.5 games, so this becomes a huge game. The Nuggets have been 11-8 in their last 19 games, playing above the line in their last three. They have also been 10-4 SU and 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 as home chalk, where they have averaged 114 points per game. The Nuggets are 11-3 as a home favorite in their last 14 vs. the Pelicans. In their last 117 games as a road dog, the Pelicans  are a woeful 18-99 SU, covering just 44% of the time, including 1-3 SU/ATS vs. the Nuggets. Make the play on Denver.
