Denver Nuggets @ Detroit Pistons

The Nuggets won both games against the Pistons last season and scored over 100-points in both contests.

The Pistons are a team that is hard to figure out on what direction this franchise is heading year in and year out. But the key here is that they are without Reggie Jackson, who is one of the renown leaders of the ball club. Without him, it will be difficult to see Detroit beating a thirsty Nuggets team.

The Nuggets have to find ways to beat this type of eastern conference team on a consistent basis to have a real shot at the playoffs. Road game wins are tough to come by but expect the Nuggets to play well and finish with a W in the win column.

Win/Loss Rating: Advantage Nuggets (3-1-Even)
