Nuggets vs. Hawks Prediction

The Nuggets have been performing exceptionally well this season and are coming into tonight on a four-game winning streak. The team have next to no weaknesses at the moment and are strong in both offense and defense.

The Hawks, meanwhile, are 2-4 in their last six games and, despite an impressive showing over the Orlando Magic, are not quite on the level of their Denver rivals at the moment. Their rigorous pace and offense will allow the Hawks to keep up and likely net a lot of points, but ultimately, this is likely going to be the Nuggets' night.

Prediction: Nuggets -3 (-110)
