Denver Nuggets is really strong. I thought I am not going to win my bet @-14.5 because Nikola Jokic feels likes he doesn't have the energy to play. But somehow a lot of players stepped up their games. KCP was phenomenal and I think that is his season high 6/9 in three-point line, MPJ, Justin Holiday, Peyton Watson and Reggie Jackson. 23 out of 41 behind the arc and this is the Nuggets that I love to watch. The bench scoring and helping out on both ends of the floor, while Jokic just doing his natural game, then Jamal Murray's return probably had something to do with that energy going up.
Now, they are back at the top of the West after a tie with the Timberwolves.
The line was set up that high for a reason, seems like all the favorites have won and covered the spread. With the return of Murray, that's really something for the team as they are now ready for the playoffs and they could fully defend their title being the defending champion.
What I'm surprised actually is the game of the Lakers and Cavaliers, as it seemed like Mitchell is still not 100%, though he played a lot of minutes but finishing by only 10 points is just uncharacteristics of him.
