Denver vs Indiana Key Matchups and Handicap

Denver has completely flipped its season script over the last three weeks. The Nuggets have won seven straight road games (6-1 ATS) while simultaneously losing four straight at home. Their most recent home win? Against these Pacers nearly a month ago.

The Nuggets won that meeting 117-100 behind dominant paint play and better late-game execution. Denver’s defensive approach proved effective, holding Indiana below 105 despite the Pacers typically pushing tempo.

Indiana enters this game having covered six of its last seven, and while the Pacers are trending up, this particular matchup creates issues. Denver can smother opponents with size, rebounding, and defensive efficiency in the half-court β€” all areas where Indiana tends to struggle against physical teams.

The Nuggets' injury list remains relevant: Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun are expected to remain out, while Jamal Murray is questionable with an ankle injury. Without Murray at full strength, Denver is unlikely to choose a high-possession game. They will look to control tempo, lean on Nikola Jokic’s facilitation, and own the glass.

Four of the last five meetings between these teams have stayed under the total, and the matchup leans that way again. Denver’s first game of a four-game road trip suggests a slower pace, especially with Murray potentially limited.

  • DEN: 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS in last seven road games
  • DEN: 4 of last 5 meetings have gone Under
  • IND: 6-1 ATS in last seven games

Key Injuries and Notes: DEN vs IND

  • DEN: Aaron Gordon (out), Christian Braun (out), Jamal Murray (questionable)
