Denver at New Orleans

Denver has had a great start to the season, including a winning record on the road. The Nuggets are #11 in the NBA in scoring, ninth in field goal shooting, while the defense is sixth at defending beyond the arc. They come off a 138-93 rout of the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. Denver is 7-3 ATS following a victory and faces an up and down New Orleans squad that is on a 3-9 spread run. While Denver is rested, New Orleans had to play last night in a close win against New York, 129-124, allowing 49% shooting. New Orleans is #16 in the NBA defensively in shooting allowing, #20 against three-pointers, and #28 in points surrendered. The Nuggets have covered five of seven playing in this building, so back the rested team. Play Denver.
