Cleveland at Denver

The Cavaliers are the second-highest scoring team in the NBA at 119.3 points since Jan. 14. And now they have James Harden, who made his Cleveland debut scoring 23 points against the Kings this past Saturday. The Cavaliers have gotten going, winning 10 of their last 12 games, including the past three. Cleveland's 1-2 scoring punch of Donovan Mitchell and Harden is going to be rough on any defense. Denver is 1-3 in its last four games despite having superstar Nikola Jokic back in the lineup. The Nuggets have a losing record during their past seven games. Denver is averaging 124.7 points over its last four games, spanning 17 quarters, because one game went into overtime. Jarrett Allen has scored 17 or more points in three of his last five games for Cleveland with Eric Mobley out. Denver is in a worse way with injuries. The Nuggets are minus Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson. In addition, Jamal Murray is questionable with a hip injury. Take the Cavaliers.
