Nuggets vs Pelicans odds<\/h2>\n

This game hadn’t been priced by a Canadian book at the time of writing. A US number may not match what you’ll see here, so we’ve left the odds out. See our NBA betting in Canada<\/a> page for the licensed options by province.<\/p>\n\n\n

Denver has scored 141 and 84 in the same week<\/h2>\n

The Nuggets opened with a 96-84 loss in Oklahoma City, where Murray went 2-of-11. Then came the overtime win, then a 134-114 home loss to the Warriors. Murray answered with 19 points and eight assists, and DeMar DeRozan led them with 21.<\/p>\n

Put those three results side by side and you get a club that can still beat anyone when Murray and Jokic both find a rhythm, and one that looks ordinary when either of them is off. That’s the Nuggets so far.<\/p>\n

Cameron Johnson is doubtful with an ankle problem. Julian Strawther has a knee sprain and will be re-evaluated in six weeks.<\/p>\n

Last season’s rates. Denver’s net rating was 9.5 points per 100 possessions better, and New Orleans played the faster game.<\/p>\n

New Orleans keeps losing close games<\/h2>\n

The Pelicans lost 123-120 to Indiana, 120-119 in Utah and 141-135 in Denver. That’s three defeats by a combined 10 points.<\/p>\n

Trey Murphy III scored 26 on Saturday. Zion Williamson has 22, 23 and 17, and Dejounte Murray has passed 20 twice. Yves Missi is out for an extended spell with a bone bruise in his left knee. Bennedict Mathurin, one of the Canadians in this game, has come off the bench for 15 to 20 minutes a night. Murray and Ryan Nembhard make it three.<\/p>\n

The Pelicans also play Sacramento at home on Thursday, the second half of a back-to-back.<\/p>\n

Players to watch<\/h2>\n

Jamal Murray, Denver.<\/strong> The Kitchener, Ontario native has gone 6, 42 and 19. The 42 came against this defence.<\/p>\n

Trey Murphy III, New Orleans.<\/strong> Ten-of-17 shooting on Saturday, and the Pelicans’ best answer when Jokic draws the help.<\/p>\n\n\n

Score prediction<\/h2>\n

Nuggets 122-115 Pelicans.<\/strong> Last season’s ratings put Denver two to three points ahead on the road, with a total in the high 230s. We add a little for Denver, because New Orleans plays again tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Nuggets vs Pelicans prediction<\/h2>\n

Saturday showed how close this can be. It also showed the Pelicans haven’t found a way to stop Murray and Jokic together.<\/p>\n

Our pick: Denver to win, the Nuggets at -5.5 or shorter, and the over if the total sits at 234.5 or lower.<\/strong> Saturday’s game reached 276 with overtime.<\/p>\n

Our player prop is Aaron Gordon under 16.5 points. He scored 20 on opening night, then seven in each of the last two. Most books on Covers’ NBA prop board had 16.5 at 6:55 a.m. ET.<\/p>\n

Check the NBA games tonight<\/a> board for the rest of Wednesday’s games. It is rebuilt every day.<\/p>\n\n

What time is Nuggets vs Pelicans?<\/strong>

Tip-off is 8:00pm ET \/ 7:00pm CT on Wednesday 28 October 2026 at Smoothie King Center, New Orleans.<\/p><\/div>
