Detroit @ Denver

I already went over the Detroit matchup earlier.

However, something tells me Emmanuel Mudiay may show out this game. Reggie Jackson is a nice, solid point guard for Detroit, but he will start to show his age. As it seems, the Nuggets could run the court and find a way to defend Drummond. This is the reason that they may be able to find a quality victory.

On top of it, the home-court advantage the Mile High has with the altitude will gas the Pistons and before long, Denver will outrun them to a win.

The Nuggets will get their second win in a row winning 91-72.
