Atlanta has great balance, #11 in the NBA in points scored and #8 in points allowed. Atlanta gets star power forward Paul Millsap back in the lineup after he missed Saturday's 98-95 loss to Phoenix to attend his grandfather's funeral. Denver has a bad home record and a worse defense, #25 in the NBA in field goal shooting defense and #23 in points allowed. Power forward Kenneth Faried missed Saturday's game with a groin injury and is still out, while point guard Jameer Nelson (wrist) will likely miss his fifth straight game. And the Nuggets are 18-38-3 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record. Play Atlanta.
