Toronto Raptors vs. Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Raptors are still missing a few players with Bruce Brown, Jakob Poeltl and Scottie Barnes, while the Nuggets once again arrive with a full team. The Raptors went cold again and their confidence took another punch after losing to the severely depleted Trail Blazers in an overtime loss last time out, while the Nuggets were on fire and they just scored 142 points in a big win against the Jazz on Saturday. The lineup is expected to be heavy for this one, but I still think the Nuggets get the cover at home where they’ve been so hard to beat all season.
