This is Cleveland's first road game in two weeks, and they head to the thin mountain air of the Rockies. This is also their first West Coast swing, a challenging four-game trek. While the Cavs are tied for the most home games played (18) in the NBA, Denver is tied for the fewest home games played (12). Despite that, they're the fifth-best team in the Western Conference behind Nikola Jokic (30.7 ppg, 12.6 rpg, 9.4 apg). They've played nine of the last 12 on the road, winning all three home games, beating Golden State (119-115), the Clippers (120-98), and Phoenix (117-90). The Nuggets are 6-2 ATS as an underdog this season. Play Denver.

Denver has won four of six although the Nuggets do come off a 115-110 loss at New Orleans on Friday when they missed three 3-point shots in the final minute that would have tied it. Nikola Jokic had 26 points, 18 assists and 16 rebounds for Denver, which is 9-3 this season. Cleveland has won two straight against Portland and Detroit, but this will be a tougher test and the Cavaliers are 0-7 ATS their past seven games following a win and 4-11 ATS their past 15 games overall. Also, Cleveland is 2-5 ATS playing with one day of rest and 3-7 ATS against teams with winning records. Take the Nuggets as a Max Play.
