LiontipsDenver vs Detroit. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Denver are trying their best to hold on to the play-off spot. So far Mike Budenholzer's men are at the 6th position in the Eastern Conference, but Lakers and Minnesota are catching up to them.
Denver looked disappointing in previous matches. Nuggets were beaten by Dallas (122:118) and Utah (102:125). But between these matches they recorded a victory over the Clippers (130:128). They recorded that victory in overtime. It is obvious that Nuggets are in a poor form now.
Detroit put up a few successful matches recently. Casey's men recorded victories over Toronto (103:87) and Sacramento (133:131). It seems like Pistons have a chance to improve, but club's board needs to strengthen the squad. They will surely try to do that in the off-season. So far Pistons will just have to finish this season off.
The main star of Detroit is Cade Cunningham. In the previous match against Utah he tallied 25 points, six rebounds and seven assists. Seems like team's game will be formed around him. Pistons are ready to trade another players.

Tip and bets
Detroit are not considered a high-scoring team. In most recent matches Pistons failed to score even 100 points. We think that this match won't be an exception. Denver can play accurate around their own rim, so we are not expecting a high-scoring performance from the visitors.
Our prediction - Detroit: total under 102,5 points
Denver have too many problems now. Nikola Jokic and his partners are not looking confident. They barely get any victories. We don't think that Nuggets will be able to crush Detroit.
Our second bet - Handicap (+13,5) points for Detroit
