Pacers vs Nuggets Prediction
The Nuggets blowing the doors off here wouldn’t surprise anybody, but they’re clearly struggling with a couple of rotation players out, and there’s a chance they won’t have Murray as well. The Nuggets have a few bad losses lately, and it’s making them harder to trust. Don’t look now, but the Pacers have won some games recently, and they could get Johnny Furphy back, which they’ll take what they can get with that injury report. All four of the Pacers wins have come at home. I’ve faded the Pacers all season, but this is a spot where I’ll grab the points.
