LiontipsDenver vs Indiana. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
In three latest home matches Michael Malone's men left no chance to Orlando (119:116), Portland (122:113) and Minnesota (122:118). That string of victories helped the Nuggets to retain the top spot in the West.
Colorado team has no selection problems. Jamal Murray will probably play in the upcoming match.
Indiana got into a serious crisis. Rick Carlisle's men have lost five games in a row, sliding down to the 9th position in the Eastern conference standings. Pacers suffered defeats to Oklahoma (106:126), Memphis (112:130) and Milwaukee (119:132) in latest matches.
Tyrese Haliburton's absence hit the Pacers hard. After he got injuried, results went downhill. Haliburton is still on team's injuried list, so we are not expecting an improvement.
