Nuggets vs. Cavaliers Prediction:
Take the Nuggets. This is too many points in my opinion. Aaron Gordon is a massive boost for Denver on both ends of the floor and Jokic has been playing at an unreal level all year. Cleveland is very good, but I don’t think they should be laying more than a possession in this one.
