Cleveland Cavaliers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction: Will the Nuggets lose again?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on November 20. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavaliers have only six wins in 12 games, and such a start to the championship, given the ambitions of the Cleveland team, cannot be called a good result. Specifically, on the eve of the match with Denver, the Cavs have two wins in a row. But we should consider that the team faced far from the strongest Portland (109:95) and Detroit (108:100) during this stretch.

It should be noted that Cleveland, who finished last season with the league's best defense, is now only 11th - 111.2 points per game. At the same time, the offense's numbers haven't improved to compensate for the worsening defense.

Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets have clinched the top spot in the Western Conference solely by their success at home, where the team has a 7-0 record. On the road, however, Denver has already fallen behind 50% wins, 2-3, and has lost three games in a row.

The Nuggets' last away offense was New Orleans, 110:115. Nikola Jokic did not do without another crazy triple-double - 26 points, 16 rebounds, 18 assists.

Expert Betting Tips

Denver, of course, will not lose all consecutive away games, and it is quite possible that already in the duel with Cleveland will break this series of failures. Moreover, the Cavaliers are not such a tough opponent at the beginning of this championship. We bet on the Nuggets, as well as on low-scoring. Both teams can play quality defense, and Denver has one of the scoring leaders, Jamal Murray, out of action, while Cleveland probably won't be able to count on Donovan Mitchell in the upcoming game.
