Raptors vs Nuggets Prediction 11/4/2026 Today’s NBA Picks

Raptors vs Nuggets Prediction

The Nuggets should win this game, but they’ve been funky to start the season. The Nuggets are a .500 team through six games, 2-4 ATS, and their defense is hit or miss. The Raptors haven’t beaten the Nuggets since March 2023, but they have a defense that travels, and you can argue they’ve been the more impressive team up to this point.

I’m just tired of backing the Nuggets, assuming they’ll get their act together, and they let me down. I’ll grab the points with the Raptors in what could be a sluggish, ugly game that’s decided in the final minutes. Give me the road dog on Wednesday night.
