After facing the Raptors, who give up the third-fewest points per game in the NBA, and the rugged Cavaliers the Nuggets draw the Nets. Brooklyn ranks 25th in defensive field goal percentage and 24th in 3-point defense. Look for Denver to shoot better from the outside in its third game without injured superstar Nikola Jokic. The Nets have given up 119, 120 and 120 points during their past three games. The Nuggets are the top scoring team in the NBA and also rank first in field goal percentage and 3-point shooting. This is Denver's easiest game since Jokic went down with a knee injury. The Nuggets' role players are motivated to step up, especially following a 113-108 road loss to the Cavaliers two days ago. The OVER has cashed 10 of the last 11 times the Nuggets have been favored following a road loss. Take the OVER.
