Brooklyn Nets at Denver Nuggets Preview & Picks

Denver are tipped to cover a double digit spread if Nikola Jokic returns for this game.

Jokic is questionable so we suggest waiting for confirmation of the starting fives, but if he does feature we expect the Nuggets to make light work of a Brooklyn team that has just suffered three blowouts.

  • Denver Nuggets are 5-2-0 ATS in their last 7 games
  • Brooklyn Nets have lost their last 3 games by an average of 19.3 points per game
  • The Under has cashed in 3 of Denver's last 4 games
  • The Under has hit in 3 of Brooklyn's last 4 games

Head To Head

  • Denver Nuggets lead the all-time series 56-45
  • Denver Nuggets won 144-139 in overtime when the two teams last met on October 29

Brooklyn Nets Form

Brooklyn head out on the road looking to end a three-game losing skid and win for only the second time in 2025.

The Nets won just three games during December, ending 2024 with back-to-back defeats as they were beaten 96-87 at home by San Antonio and 102-101 on the road in Orlando.

That became three losses in a row as they started 2025 with a 130-113 defeat in Toronto, but they were able to avoid a fourth straight loss.

Brooklyn pulled off a surprise 113-110 victory in Milwaukee a week ago, only to immediately return to losing ways.

The Nets ended last week with a 123-94 blowout loss to Philadelphia, and so far this week they have lost 113-99 to Indiana and 113-98 to Detroit.

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver go into this game looking to win back-to-back games for the first time in 2025.

The Nuggets lost 11-100 to Phoenix on Christmas Day and then fell 149-135 to Cleveland, but they were able to end 2024 on a positive note.

They got back to winning ways with a 134-121 victory over Detroit, before heading out on the road to down Utah 132-121.

Denver made it three-in-a-row with a 139-120 win over Atlanta to start the year, but they missed out on a fourth straight win as they were beaten 113-110 by San Antonio.

The Nuggets avenged that loss with a 122-111 overtime win at the Spurs, and then rebounded from a 118-106 defeat to Boston with a 126-103 victory against the LA Clippers.

Verdict

Brooklyn arrive in miserable form, and if Jokic plays it is unlikely to get any better for the visitors.

The Nets have been blown out in their last three games, failing to break the 100-point barrier in each outing, so a Jokic-led Nuggets team is backed to dominate them.
