Free Betting Pick: Denver Nuggets -10.5
The Denver Nuggets have been one of the best home teams in the NBA as they have gone 22-11 ATS while going 27-6 SU. The Denver Nuggets have looked like a contender in the Western Conference all season as they haven’t seen an emergence out of Nikola Jokic but their bench unit which consists of Morris and Beasley has shown up. Karl-Anthony Towns has been banged up as of recent which may limit his minutes and if that is if he even plays at all, but he won’t be enough. Denver wins and covers, 128-114.
