Indiana Pacers vs Denver Nuggets prediction

The Denver Nuggets have the ability to blow the doors off here especially with the Pacers still down their best player, but the Pacers still have the ability to score the ball which we saw against the Hawks. The Nuggets have also been hit or miss these last couple of weeks, and they’ve covered just 4 of their last 10 games. This is a lot of points for a Pacers side that can still fill it up offensively. I’ll take a shot with the free buckets.
