If we look at the last eleven games of the Nuggets, there is already a very presentable record of (8-3). However, if we filter these according to the quality of the opponents, it becomes clear why I am so sure about today’s tip!
Because each of the last six bankruptcies, which stretch back to the year 2021 that has just ended, happened only against a team with a positive record, which is in contention for a playoff spot.
However, the Pelicans do not fit into this category of franchises with a currently poor record (18-29).
Although New Orleans was only able to force the Nuggets to extend their game in a direct duel a month ago before they had to give in at 114:120, this aspect was also taken into account in my forecast.

The Nuggets’ chances are much better this time because the Pelicans have a very competitive squad, but they are currently being held back by injuries.
In the last duel against Denver, the Pelicans could still draw on the full, but in this comparison are in the starting five two important regular players are missing: Josh Hart and Brandon Ingram.
But that’s not all: Useful bench players like Devonte Graham, Zion Williamson, Didi Louzada and Corona-stricken Trey Murphi III will also be forced to watch.
