New Orleans Pelicans vs Denver Nuggets prediction: Nuggets on the road

The New Orleans Pelicans host the Denver Nuggets on October 29 at 9:00 AM KST. The Pelicans are priced at 2.67 at home and Denver at 1.52 on the road. The market gives Denver a clear edge, and the recent results support that view.

The Pelicans have lost three of their last four games. Those losses were 135-141 to Denver on October 25, 119-120 to Utah on October 24, and 120-123 to Indiana on October 22. Their only win in that stretch came against Washington, 107-106, on October 17.

Denver is more balanced. It beat New Orleans 141-135 on October 25, but it lost 84-96 at Oklahoma City on October 23 and 114-134 to Golden State on October 27. Denver's last four results are two wins and two losses, so the margin is not large. Still, the Nuggets have won their last meeting, and the Pelicans have struggled in close games.
