The Denver Nuggets are on the road in Indiana to take on the Indiana Pacers. Denver is 30-14 this season, good for third in the Western Conference while Indiana is seventh in the Eastern Conference with a 24-19 record. They have played once this season with Denver coming away with a 117-109 win. Denver has been getting it done on the defensive end, where they are the sixth-ranked scoring defense, allowing 110.9 points per game. They have the 14th-ranked offense, putting up 115.9 points per game. Indiana comes into this game with the best offense in the NBA. They are putting up 125 points per game. They need the offensive output as they are weak on the defensive end. They have the second-worst defense in the NBA, giving up 123.1 points a game. Tyrese Haliburton is listed as questionable for the game, and if he can’t go, the Pacers will miss his 23 points a game. The Nuggets have won the last seven games against the Pacers. I like the Nuggets in this one as they are a bad matchup for the Pacers. The Pacers are not a good rebounding team which will allow Jokic to control the paint and will offer a lot of second-chance opportunities for the Nuggets. The Nuggets are the better defensive team and that will make the difference down the stretch.

Play on Denver. This is a 4% play
