Denver Nuggets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Odds
Denver Nuggets Team News
With two straight losses at home, the Nuggets have taken a big step back in terms of first place in the standings and home-court advantage during the playoffs. First, they were defeated by the Suns, and then in the last meeting by the direct competitor for first place, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The absence of Murray, who missed the previous two matches due to an ankle injury, is strongly felt and is a questionable for this match. However, the situation is such that the Nuggets will take a risk with Murray and he will be available for this match.
In the match against the Suns, Jokic played more with his teammates and didn’t look at the basket much, but when the Suns made the difference, Jokic started alone, but he didn’t have the support of his teammates. They also played a bad game against Wolves, primarily offensively. Again, they were limited to under 100 points, and Jokic was the most effective with 32 points, while Porter and Gordon added 14 points each and were the team’s second scorers.
Cleveland Cavaliers Team News
The Cavaliers look very good this season and along with the Bucks and the always-unpleasant Miami in the playoffs, they are a team that can match the Celtics. However, they have been playing very poorly lately, and have been defeated six times in the last ten matches. In the last match, they defeated the Sixers very hard, and the key player in that match was Niang with 25 points, while Mobley added 20 points and with that, he hit an important three-pointer at the very end of the match that decided the winner.
The Cavs are one of the best defensive teams in the league, allowing just 109.4 points on average. They are especially strong under the rim, where Allen and Mobley, with their mobility and reach, protect the rim very well and can take on shorter players.
In this match, we expect a much higher production from Mitchell, who is the leader of this team and must contribute more offensively. Especially for the reason that he did not score 15 points in the last three games.

Denver Nuggets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
It is very difficult to beat the Nuggets in Denver, and it is a real rarity that they have recorded two losses in the last two matches in the Ball Arena. For this reason, we believe that the Nuggets will win this match, but also for the reason that this match is a “must” for them if they want to keep first place. The Cavs are also in bad form and are a stylistically similar team to the Nuggets.
