We’re going to have an exciting slate tonight. Every game in the NBA has a projected spread of seven points or fewer, with four games sitting with a spread of one possession.

Today’s Best NBA Bets: Nuggets vs. Pelicans
All Wagers Are 1 Unit
All odds are courtesy of Caesars as of Tuesday morning.
The Pelicans will likely be without Brandon Ingram for tonight’s game at home. Meanwhile, the Nuggets have Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. listed as questionable for tonight’s game.
If Denver has those guys in their lineup, the Nuggets should have plenty of success on the offensive end. Denver is first in the NBA in points per 100 possession and effective field goal percentage. The Nuggets won’t dominate the offensive glass and could give up the ball many times to the Pelicans. But overall, at home, Denver should shoot at a high percentage from the floor.
On the other hand, the Pelicans turn the ball over at an even higher rate. They’ve succeeded on the offensive glass and continue to get to the foul line consistently. But Denver has limited teams to 25.4% offensive rebounds and is still above average in defensive free throw rate.
The Nuggets can keep the Pelicans off the glass, limit second chances and shoot at a higher percentage. Give me the Nuggets at -115.
Bet: Nuggets (-115)
