Adam Williams presents his prediction for the NBA match.
Recently, the Denver Nuggets suffered another defeat, their third in the last five games. They urgently need to turn things around, especially as they now visit the Indiana Pacers, whom they comfortably beat a month ago (117:100).
Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers are in the middle of a home stand that is going very well so far: two wins and a hard-fought loss to the top-tier Cleveland Cavaliers (119:135). The team's performance has been greatly improved by the return of Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin. Together, they are averaging 38.6 points and, along with Pascal Siakam (24.1), they create serious problems for virtually any opponent.
Denver Nuggets
Unfortunately for the Denver Nuggets fans, their injury situation has not improved at all. Nikola Jokic is experiencing discomfort and is still questionable, as is Jamal Murray. Coupled with the absence of Bruce Brown and Aaron Gordon, the Nuggets have practically lost their entire starting five. It is not surprising that under such conditions they are unable to win consistently.
Indiana Pacers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Denver Nuggets are considered clear favourites, but exactly the same situation occurred in the game against the Dallas Mavericks (121:131). With their fans behind them, the Indiana Pacers will fight and do everything they can to earn a crucial victory. It certainly will not be easy for the visitors.
