Nuggets vs. Cavaliers Odds

TeamOddsSpreadTotals
Denver Nuggets-105+1.5234.5
Cleveland Cavaliers-115-1.5234.5

Game Preview

The Nuggets are highly unstable, and this team has posted subsequent wins and losses in the previous six games. A good news is that they’ve defeated the Golden State in the most recent appearance, 119-115 at the Ball Arena.

The top NBA MVP award contender, Nikola Jokic, had 38 points, ten boards, and six assists. NBA MVP odds are favoring the Serbian to take the honors once again and become one of few guys with four such trophies in its collection.

Cleveland Cavaliers are 19-3 and are topping the East NBA standings. They have the best offense in the NBA with 121.8 points, and shoot 50.9% from the field which is also the best in the league.

They humiliated the Wizards in the previous game, 118-87, showcasing their dominance once again and proving that they really look well and need to be considered in any title talk.

Nuggets vs. Cavaliers Head to Head

The two sides didn’t play this year and during the previous, each team won a game at home.

Nuggets vs. Cavaliers Prediction

The Nuggets are very unstable, and we aren’t sure they will play a big role in the NBA this year. Cleveland is at full speed, and we believe that the team from Ohio will win this game.

  • Nuggets vs. Cavaliers pick: Cavaliers win
