Cleveland Cavaliers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction: the Nuggets May Repeat their Success

Prediction for the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers vs Denver Nuggets match will take place on February 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Cavaliers had an incredible streak before the All-Star weekend break, winning seven games in a row and stumbling only in an away game with Philadelphia. Moreover, against the Seven Sixers, Cleveland claimed victory, almost winning back a handicap of 28 points during the match – 112:118.

It is worth noting that the J.B. Bickerstaff team has undoubtedly become stronger than last season. Cleveland added on defense. It's no coincidence that it is the best team of the season regarding defense and attack. The Cavaliers are now led by Donovan Mitchell – one of the best scorers of today's NBA.

The Nuggets also had a great stretch before the break in the championship – seven wins in nine games, including such strong rivals as Golden State, Miami, and Dallas. However, throughout the season, Michael Malone's team performs perfectly, leading the standings of the Western Conference.

The main strength of today's Denver is the game on offense. The team scores 117.1 points per game, being in a high sixth place in the rating of the effectiveness of the attack. However, the Nuggets' defense is only 13th this season (112.7 points per match). Due to such a clear game imbalance, Denver is still difficult to attribute to the contenders for the championship title.

Competitors are excellent at each other, so it's worth considering bets on those for whose success they pay more. It is Denver, which bookmakers consider the underdog in the upcoming game. The Nuggets very confidently outplayed the Cavaliers in the first game of the season series and may repeat this success.
