Game Preview
Circumstances are going against the Nuggets at the moment. They played in Milwaukee less than 24 hours ago, and are very tired. On top of that, Jokic and the crew lost to the Bucks, 121-112, with the starters shooting terribly apart from the Serb, 23-for-66.
Jokic has 27 triple-doubles this year and should be leading the way in the NBA MVP rankings. Though, there are some who suggest that he is behind Shai Gilgeous Alexander. We strongly disagree with that, with all due respect to SGA. Jokic averages a triple-double this year – 29.2 points, 12.6 boards and 10.4 assists.
Detroit Pistons have won the last eight games. Their latest NBA results are fantastic, with their most recent win being over the champions, the Boston Celtics, 117-97. They have averaged 124.1 points during this winning streak.
We need to mention two important betting stats and trends. The first is that the Pistons are 6-0 against the spread in the last half-dozen events, and the second is that 5 of the previous 7 events they played went UNDER.
Nuggets vs. Pistons Head to Head

Nuggets vs. Pistons Predictions
Denver will be tired after Milwaukee. And that’s Detroit’s chance, which is why we bet on the hosts to win this one.
