Command Analysis
Denver Nuggets
USACurrent form
After a series of setbacks, the Nuggets managed to return to the race for the top 3 in the Western Conference. The team gained good form and won three matches in a row, beating Philadelphia (137:134), Charlotte (107:104) and its closest rival, New Orleans (125:113).
Team leader Nikola Jokic continues to demonstrate high efficiency and regularly scores triple-doubles, having a huge impact on the result. In the last match against the Pelicans, Michael Porter scored 36 points, which was one of the key factors in Denver's success.
Michael Malone's men look even more confident on their own court, and the next match is a great opportunity to build on their success and come close to the leaders of the Western Conference.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vlatko Chancar, Aaron Gordon and Daron Holmes, Payton Watson and Russell Westbrook will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
In 4 of the last 5 face-to-face matches, the Nuggets celebrated the victory.
Approximate composition: Nnaji-Porter Jr., Jokic-Murray, Brown.
New Orleans Pelicans
USACurrent form
The Pelicans continue their fall. The team has lost six games in a row, and the last meeting against Denver (113-1125) showed serious defensive problems and a lack of offensive leaders.
In the last game, 24-year-old Trey Murphy scored 41 points, but even that didn't help New Orleans avoid another defeat. The absence of Brandon Ingram seriously affects the team's game – he was a key figure in the attack and created chances for his teammates.
The Pelicans will play their second consecutive game in Denver, and the main task is not to repeat the mistakes of the previous match. Ingram's return may strengthen the team's attack, but will it be enough to win?
Disqualifications and injuries
Herbert Johnson and Jejante Murray will not play in the next match due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
The Pelicans can't win five games.
Approximate line-up: Williamson - Murphy, Missy-McCollum, Green.

1.89Tip and bets
Denver has already proved its superiority over the Pelicans in a recent head-to-head match. The attacking combination of Jokic, Porter and Murray is working well for the hosts, which is capable of opening up any defense.
New Orleans is in huge trouble, and if the team doesn't find its game quickly, the losing streak will continue. The only hope is the possible return of Ingram, who can add variety to the offense. In our opinion, Denver will once again confirm its status as the favorite and achieve victory.
Our forecast is that Denver will win, taking into account the handicap (-8.5) points in 1.72
Bet on the total
The previous game showed that both teams prefer an attacking game and do not rely on defense. The Nuggets continue to play aggressively, while the Pelicans are desperately trying to find a way to win. We assume that the total will be broken.
Forecast - total more than 236.5 points for 1.66
Betting on statistics
Given the Nuggets' powerful offense, in which Jokic continues to demonstrate stability and Porter is gaining form, we expect the hosts' individual total to break through. Denver is particularly confident in the home arena, so the visitors will have serious problems defending themselves again.
Prediction – Denver's individual total is more than 124 points in 1.79
