Why the Nuggets can cover
The Nuggets wrapped up a tough road trip on Sunday with a 110-103 loss to the defending champion Boston Celtics. Three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic finished with 20 points, 14 rebounds, and nine assists. Another player making a difference was Jamal Murray, who went 11-for-20 en route to 26 points along with seven assists and six rebounds.
Jokic is nursing an ankle injury and may be limited on Wednesday. He enters this matchup averaging 28.9 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.4 assists per game. A potential X-factor for Denver could be guard Christian Braun. The former Kansas standout is having a breakout year, averaging 15.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. See which team to pick here.
