Brooklyn Nets vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

I’m not running to the window to lay chalk with the Denver Nuggets with how they’ve looked through 3 Games and the fact they played an overtime Game last night. However, the Brooklyn Nets aren’t a good team, and they’re dealing with injuries. We can continue to be disgusted with how the Nuggets look, but they should be able to beat the Nets comfortably. There are no excuses. The line is still reasonable. Give me the Nuggets as more of a fade of the Nets more than anything.
