Current Records: Denver 24-21; Detroit 11-35

What to Know

The Denver Nuggets have enjoyed the comforts of home their last six games, but now they must head out on the road. They will take on the Detroit Pistons at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday at Little Caesars Arena. The Nuggets should still be riding high after a victory, while Detroit will be looking to regain their footing.

The Pistons are out to make up for these teams' matchup on Sunday. Denver secured a 117-111 W over Detroit. The score was all tied up at the break 60-60, but Denver was the better team in the second half. Their center Nikola Jokic did his thing and had 34 points and eight assists in addition to nine boards.

Denver is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7-point margin of victory. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past four games.

The Nuggets' win brought them up to 24-21 while the Pistons' loss pulled them down to 11-35. Denver is 11-12 after wins this season, and Detroit is 9-25 after losses.
