Denver Nuggets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction: betting on the Nuggets to win?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on December 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets played two previous matches against Phoenix. First at home in a regular regular season game, the team confidently beat the Suns - 117:90. Then in the away game of the Christmas series, Denver failed to repeat this success - a defeat 100:110. Neither Nikola Jokic's 25 points and 15 rebounds, nor Michael Porter Jr.'s 22 points helped the Nuggets.

In general, Denver, although not without problems this season, in particular, showing only the 23rd defense in the league (116.1 points allowed per game), is quite confident in the playoff zone. The Nuggets are currently in fifth place in the Western Conference with a balance of 16-12.

Cleveland Cavaliers

If the NBA had known in advance that the Cavaliers would be so confident in this championship, it would have involved the team from Ohio in the Christmas series. As it is, Cleveland played its last game before Christmas. On December 24, the team on the home arena confidently dealt with the penultimate place of the Western Conference Utah - 124:113. Thus, the Cavs won their fifth straight victory and ninth in a stretch of the last ten games.

In general, Cleveland is basically almost not losing in the current season. The Cavaliers with the balance of 26-4 not only lead in the East, but are one win ahead of the leader of the West - Oklahoma.

Expert Betting Tips

Denver can't find its game on defense yet this season, but on offense Michael Malone's team is one of the best - third in the efficiency rating with a 119.1 points scored per game average. Cleveland is second in the same rankings with 121.8 points per game. Such a powerful offensive performance of both teams gives us reason to bet on the total over.
