However, they are too expensive to take, making the moneyline one to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>BET NUGGETS -2.5 (-110).<\/p>\n<p>There seemed to be some hope in Brooklyn, especially to end December, but all that vanished with a 20-point road loss to the Wizards. The Nets have lost their last 3 games by 20, 24, and 13 points, having failed to cover in each.<\/p>\n<p>The Nuggets have been short Jokic for 2 games and have a 3-point road win over the Toronto Raptors and a 5-point road loss over the Cavaliers in the span, both impressive results. Denver has scored at least 123 points in 5 of its last 7 games.<\/p>\n<p>Expect Denver to take care of business and back NUGGETS -2.5 (-110).<\/p>\n<p>BET OVER 224.5 (-110).<\/p>\n<p>The Nuggets have gone 4-2 O\/U in their last 6 games, and despite being short Jokic, Murray has shown he can captain this offense successfully. Denver is 22-12 O\/U on the season.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets have gone Over in 3 of their last 5 games and have allowed at least 119 points in 3 straight. With Porter Jr. likely making his return, the Nets&#8217; offense should find some life.<\/p>\n<p>Take OVER 224.5 (-110).<\/p>\n<p>For more sports betting picks and tips, check out <a
