My Prediction
Denver Nuggets by 6Well, pull up a chair and munch on those nachos, because we've got the Detroit Pistons taking on the Denver Nuggets in what promises to be a clash of styles as diverse as your grandma's record collection.
Let's start with the Pistons, who are running on the youthful energy of Cade Cunningham. Just look at those last month stats: 25.5 points per game, 6.3 boards and a staggering 11.2 assists. Dude's been handing out more assists than a charity on Thanksgiving. And let's not forget Malik Beasley and his consistent hoop-making with 18.7 points per game. They might be seating at #9 in the Eastern Conference, but those recent results tell you Detroit isn't about to roll over.
But oh, the mountainous challenge they face! Coming up against the Denver Nuggets isn't a picnic at the park, it's more like a climb up Kilimanjaro. Your regular sherpa is none other than Nikola Jokic. 31.8 points per game last month, and enough rebounds to make a kangaroo jealous. Jamal Murray's not too shabby either, popping up with 20.3 points of his own. Sitting pretty at the #5 spot in the Western Conference, the Nuggets are like a cat in a creamery, especially given their solid edge in past matchups.
Now, I've got no crystal ball, but looking at how things have been shaping up, the Nuggets might just keep their momentum going. The Pistons will put up a fight, but my gut tells me Denver's got this one. So here's how I see it:
