We’re in for a really interesting encounter, as the hosts are in great form and the visitors are looking to pick up the pace, as leaving the top six isn’t likely to be part of their plans. The Denver Nuggets have not been as confident as their rivals recently, but they’ve been doing quite well in their head-to-head encounters.
The Toronto Raptors ignore their rivals and simply go their own way. Nick Nurse’s team is trying to get a playoff spot, and they’re doing their best in every game. Despite that, the Raptors also have their weaknesses, plus you have to understand that the team won’t be able to perform at the same level for long. We expect the Nuggets to get on the Raptors’ nerves and play well.
The head-to-head encounters are always attacking and it looks as though nothing will change this time around. Both opponents are more motivated than ever, so we expect a productive encounter.
The Raptors have scored more than 112.5 points in all their last five games.
The Raptors have been on a winning streak for the last part of the season, as they have racked up one win after another. The team climbed to sixth place in the Eastern Conference and plans to catch up with the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Toronto Raptors managed to show class in their last meeting when they defeated the Houston Rockets on the road. The visitors opened up on their opponent, and the Rockets’ defense was disappointing (139-120). The Canadian club returns to the home arena, where they will face the Denver Nuggets. In short, there’s a lot to look forward to.
The Nuggets are also in sixth place in the Western Conference. The team has been losing points more often recently, so this is the first call for the head coach.

In the last game, the Denver Nuggets tried to beat Boston at the TD Garden, which is not an easy place to get points from. The Nuggets lost 108-102. The Nuggets are well aware that they need to level things up a bit because the Timberwolves are breathing down their backs. They have another tough test ahead of them in Toronto, also on the road.
Safe Bets
In four of the last five head-to-head encounters, the game started with an accurate two-point shot. The odds for that outcome are 1.34.
