Nuggets +6 -120
i think this is an interesting spot within this series. The key to me will be Jokic and the officiating.
I fully expect the nuggets to adjust to Howard and find ways for the joker to get his both early and in the 4th. games prior, Howard had 4 and 5 fouls in gAmes 1 and 2 in fewer minutes. Chess match and I give Joker the upper hand here.
Also curious how it is reffed. Do the go over the top to give James FT’s or is it a bit more even? If they call the foul or two on James lare, it may be a different series right now. Could see FT’s being more even this game.
davis injury isn’t a big factor for me. Limited or not, the nuggets will do what’s necessary to win, or at least keep it close.
all the best.
