Denver Nuggets vs Indiana Pacers

League: NBA | Date: 2025-11-08 09:10 PM EST | Last Updated: 2025-11-08 05:13 PM EST

💰 Best Bet #1 [Denver Nuggets / Spread / -10.5 at -110 / 68% / Nuggets dominate depleted Pacers roster with key absences like Haliburton out for season and Nembhard questionable, covering in 6 of last 8 home games against sub-.500 teams; home advantage and superior ORtg (118.2) vs Pacers’ weakened DRtg (112.4 adjusted for injuries) support edge.]

💰 Best Bet #2 [Under / Total / 235.5 at -110 / 62% / Both teams play moderate pace (Nuggets 99.8, Pacers 97.2), but Pacers’ injuries limit scoring (averaging 102.3 PPG last 5 without Haliburton); recent Nuggets games under in 4 of 6, matchup favors defensive battle with Jokic anchoring paint.]

💰 Best Bet #3 [Denver Nuggets / Moneyline / -550 / 84% / Overwhelming favoritism justified by 6-2 start, Pacers 1-7 slump exacerbated by multiple starters out; historical 78% win rate as -400+ favorites at home.]
