Detroit Pistons Team News
Detroit enters this game with a 117-97 loss to the Wizards on Tuesday. Killian Hayes scored 20 points with seven assists, followed by McGruder with 16 points. But, apart from Wiseman and Joseph, who scored 12 points each, there needed to be more upbeat players in Detroit’s lineup. The Pistons struggled in this game, as they required most of their starting lineup.
The Pistons are last in the East with virtually no playoff prospects. They are averaging 111.2 points per game on the season. They shoot mediocre at 45.4% from the field and 35.1% from three. They allow opponents to score an average of 118.6 points per game.
The Pistons recently beat the Pacers once, 117:97. In the second match, the Pacers were better, 121:115. The Pistons also lost to the Hornets 113:103, as well as to the Trail Blazers 110:104. Their first five will not be in the whole composition, even in the match against Denver.
Denver Nuggets Team News
It hasn’t happened in a long time that Denver had four losses in four games. Somewhat unexpectedly, in the last match against Toronto, they looked like themselves only in the first quarter; everything else was forgettable. Nikola Jokic led the team with 28 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. With him was Michael Porter Jr., who recorded 23 points and six rebounds, which is 10 points more than his average. But even that was not enough to win against the Raptors.
The Nuggets rested for two days before the match with Detroit, and they are still firmly in first place in the Western Conference. Behind them are the Kings, who are picking up the pace slightly, and the Nuggets need a win over the last team in the conference now more than ever.
The Nuggets are scoring an average of 116.8 points per game this season, with an excellent percentage of 50.8% from the field. When shooting three-pointers, they are successful in 38.7% of their attempts. Their problem is on defense, as they allow opposing teams to average 113.2 points per game on the season. Obviously, their form is on the decline, but they are absolute favorites against the Pistons.

Detroit Pistons vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Denver entered an awful period. Four consecutive matches without a win melted their nice difference in front of the Kings and other pretenders for the Play. Now they come to Detroit to regain their shaken status as the best team in the West at any cost. They will be absolute favorites in this match, and the bookmakers do not give the Pistons the slightest chance to win.
It is worth betting that the total will be less than 230 points. The Nuggets are not in shooting form, and the Pistons have some problems reaching triple-digit results due to injuries.
