Denver Nuggets vs Brooklyn Nets preview
The Denver Nuggets are off to a rough start to the season and have a glaring need for a 3-point shooter. The Nuggets are having trouble knocking down shots, making Nikola Jokic's time a little tougher on the black. It's too early to panic, but they have to figure it out as soon as possible given how deep the West is.
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets are not projected to be a good team this season. The Nets are in full rebuild but appear competitive under coach Jordi Fernandez. They have a good young core and a bunch of scrappy veterans.
Denver Nuggets vs Brooklyn Nets betting tips
Nikola Jokic scored at least 40 points in back-to-back games, carrying the Denver Nuggets on his back. Jokic has an over/under of 28.5 points, with the odds favoring him to score less. However, it's smarter to bet on him to go over, given how he's looking to score in the past two contests.
Dennis Schroder has been the best player for the Brooklyn Nets early in the season. He's favored to score more than 16.5 points, which is likely attainable against a Nuggets team with no great perimeter defenders. Bet on the guard to go over (-114) on Tuesday night.
Denver Nuggets vs Brooklyn Nets prediction
Despite their struggles, the Denver Nuggets are favored to beat the Brooklyn Nets. The Nuggets have the personnel to make it look easy against Brooklyn but are coming off an overtime game on Monday night. Look for the Nets to have more energy and make it tough for Denver.
However, the final prediction for this game is a close win for the Nuggets (-227), with the Nets covering the (+5.5) spread.
