Detroit Pistons at Denver Nuggets Preview & Picks – Pistons To Record NBA Cover Against Short-Handed Nuggets

Detroit are tipped to cover as a road underdog here.

Denver are set to be without Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, while Aaron Gordon could be missing too.

Detroit go into this matchup on a seven-game losing run that has seen them fall to 3-15 this season.

The Pistons won their season opener, but then went on a five-game losing run before springing an upset win against Golden State.

They failed to build on that though, losing their next three games, and although they did stop the rot briefly by beating Oklahoma City, they have not won since.

Detroit were beaten in Boston and New York before heading home for defeats to the Celtics and Toronto.

The Pistons then started a six-game West Coast road trip with a 96-91 loss at the LA Clippers, which was followed with a 128-121 defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers and a 137-129 loss to Sacramento.

Denver return home looking to start string together some wins after a disappointing run over the past nine days.

The Nuggets saw a four-game win streak come to an end with a 131-112 defeat at Boston and they have gone just 2-2 since then.

They rebounded to blowout the Bulls 126-103 in Chicago, only to then lose their next two games.

Denver lost 106-103 at home to New York before heading out on the road for a 127-99 blowout loss to Dallas.

The Nuggets were able to avenge that loss on Sunday though, beating the Mavericks 98-97.
