Nuggets vs. Raptors prediction and odds for Tuesday, March 14 (How to bet total)

The Denver Nuggets are in a bit of a slide right now, losing three straight games and getting thrashed on defense in the process.

Now, the Nuggets are on the road against the Toronto Raptors, who nearly upset them at home last week.

Denver would love to get back in the win column, but it could be without Jamal Murray (questionable) in this game.

For just the 14th time all season, Denver is set as an underdog on the road. Here are the latest odds and how to bet on this matchup.

Nuggets vs. Raptors odds, spread and total

Nuggets vs. Raptors prediction and pick

This is a short spread in this game, but I think there is more value on the total given how Denver’s defense is playing at the moment.

The Nuggets have given up 113, 117, 128 and 122 points in their last four games, against the Raptors, Chicago Bulls, San Antonio Spurs and Brooklyn Nets.

None of those teams are elite offenses, so I think that gives some value on the OVER in this game after Denver and Toronto combined for 231 points last week.

The Nuggets are still one of the best offensive units in the NBA, ranking No. 2 in the league in offensive rating.

Toronto is one of the best OVER teams in the NBA this season (38-30), so I’ll ride with it again on Tuesday night.
