Denver @ Detroit

This could shape up to be an intriguing game.

Both teams are youthful and have a strong front-court. Andre Drummond could present the Nuggets some challenges, however his free throw shooting down the stretch will become a burden for Detroit.

I could see the perimeter players for Denver suddenly igniting a run in the 4^th quarter which would seal the Nuggets first win of the season against a playoff team. The Pistons are a quality team, but Denver may have just enough to capture their second win in their fifth game.

I predict that Denver improves to 2-3 with a final score of 105-102.
