Pistons vs Nuggets Prediction

The Pistons will be favored at home more times than not, and they beat the Nuggets last week on the road. However, I’m going to lean toward the Nuggets as underdogs a lot as long as Jokic is on the court. There’s also a chance Braun returns. The Nuggets are getting healthier, and they’re a live dog when that’s the case. The Nuggets have also done some of their best work on the road, where they have 19 wins. I’m just not leaving this many points on the table with the Nuggets.
