Once again, people got burned betting on the Nuggets as they surprisingly fell 126-124 on the road to the Blazers despite being the 8.5-point favorite. You just never know which team will line up next to Nikola Jokic, he once again had a brilliant game with 34 points on just 18 shots made. The rest of the team also shot the ball well, but just couldn’t stop it to save their lives. And now they head to New Orleans for a date with a Pelicans team that already beat them 101-94 about a month ago.

Along with the Raptors in the East, New Orleans currently has the longest losing streak in the NBA at 6 games in a row. They scored just 93 points in an 11-point loss to the Knicks last night, with Trey Murphy III being the only reliable option to score with 26 points. It’s hard to find many bright spots for this team at the moment, they’ve only played three of nine games and have one win in seven home games. They are also 1-8 SU in 9 vs. West teams and have covered once in 9 vs. Northwest Division opponents. Only the Wizards have a worse offensive rating, and New Orleans is the only team in the league that makes less than 50% of effective field goals.

So will the Nuggets stop messing around and take this game seriously? We can’t say for sure. What we do know is that these two teams only scored 195 points in their first meeting in mid-November. The Under has won money 12 times in 17 meetings, including 5 in a row at the Smoothie King Center. Let’s try our luck down here.
