Nuggets vs Raptors Picks and Predictions: Poeltl Puts It on in Battle ... (Covers.com)

NBA odds, picks, and predictions for the Denver Nuggets at Toronto Raptors on March 14. NBA betting best bet and free pick analysis.

a team with a losing straight-up record and 6-1 in the Raptors' last seven vs. That is not a problem for the Nuggets. I’d lean towards the Nuggets on the moneyline tonight. One, the Raps play much better at home this season, and two, they played well against the Nuggets in that last meeting. When teams clamp down in the fourth quarter and force the Raptors into their half-court offense, that’s when things go wrong. Then there is also the fact that Jokic is on the court a lot during Nuggets games, playing nearly 34 minutes per game. Offensively, he's great in the pick-and-roll with [Pascal Siakam](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/1764/pascal-siakam) or [Fred VanVleet](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/1756/fred-vanvleet). Poeltl is averaging 15.7 points per game on 68.5% shooting in his 11 games as a starter, and has gone Over the 13.5 number seven times in his last 10 games. [Nikola Jokic](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/1850/nikola-jokic) and the Nuggets have arguably the NBA’s best offense, their defense is average at best, as the team ranks 16th in efficiency. His point total is up to 13.5 after sitting at 12.5 for the majority of his time as a Raptor. [Raps](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/teams/main/toronto-raptors). The Toronto Raptors need a win.

NBA Player Props Today: Fade Pascal Siakam in Nuggets vs ... (The Action Network)

PropBetGuy breaks down his top NBA player prop for Tuesday's matchup between the Denver Nuggets and Toronto Raptors.

Gordon rates in the 95th percentile of defensive estimated plus-minus (per Dunks and Threes), and he held Siakam to 27 PRA in 36 minutes in their matchup last week. The content on this page is for informational purposes only. And as we’ve seen of late, the Raptors no longer need to force-feed Siakam volume when he’s facing a suboptimal matchup. So allow me to explain why I’m fading the Toronto [Raptors](https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/toronto-raptors) forward on a PRA line that is more than 11% less than his full-season average. We may be compensated for the links provided on this page. First, the Raptors are fully healthy.

Toronto Raptors vs. Denver Nuggets Matchup: Lineup updates ... (RaptorsHQ)

The Raptors return home after an abysmal 1-4 trip. Can they make one last push towards the postseason? They'll need more from Pascal Siakam to do so.

Toronto Raptors– Otto Porter Jr. Those aren’t terrible numbers by any stretch, but they’re all below Siakam’s season averages prior to the trip (25.7/7.7/6.0), and furthermore, Siakam looked oddly passive throughout the trip. Since the end of December, we’ve all been waiting for the team to make a push, and time and again, they've fallen short. He’s still having one of the all-time great Raptors seasons, but the Raptors need an aggressive Siakam scoring from all three levels, and getting to the free throw line, to be successful. As for their opponents tonight, I don’t have to tell you what happened last time. After going 1-4 on their recent road trip, well, the Raptors are pretty much out of time.

Do these Raptors care enough to fight for each other? After they beat the Nuggets 125-110, at least we can answer “maybe.”
