1.88Tip and bets
Taking into account the defeat of Brooklyn by Detroit and Denver's problems with the form of the leaders, the match looks like a confrontation between an ambitious young team and a champion experiencing difficulties. Face-to-face meetings in recent years have more often been in favor of the Nuggets, but Nikola Jokic's injury and the limited depth of the squad negate their advantage. The Pistons are now playing actively and confidently, which makes them dangerous for any opponent. Bookmakers give interesting odds for this match, and the optimal bet is Detroit with a head start, since Denver is still the favorite at home, but the difference in the score may be minimal.
Our prediction is that Detroit will win with a handicap of -2.5 points in 1.76
