Nuggets vs. Raptors Prediction:
Since opening the line has moved from Denver -1.5 to -3. Anticipate Thunder as home dogs to be a season long advantage. Vegas increasing the spread here is a recalculation that punishes early bettors. The larger the number the more confident I get in Denver. Until Jokic shows a string of difficult games this season, the Nuggets should be bet.
Nuggets vs. Thunder NBA Betting Prediction: Denver (-3; -110)
