Brooklyn Nets vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

The Brooklyn Nets are watching their season fall apart, with losses in eight of their last 10 games and covers in just three of their last 10 games. The Denver Nuggets are usually at their best at home, and they've shown flashes of putting things together over these last couple of weeks. This line is still insane and one you don't see every day. This will be just the sixth time since February of last year that the Nuggets at laying at least 15 points. The Nuggets are 5-7 ATS in their last 12 games when favorites of 15 or more points. Also, even with the Net's endless losses and failed covers lately, they're still a profitable 19-17-1 ATS on the season. The Nuggets and Nets also went to overtime back in October, for whatever that's worth. I'll take the points with the Nets if forced to pick.
