The Brooklyn Nets had opened a nine-game trip by winning two of three contests prior to losing back-to-back games against the two L.A. teams Monday/Tuesday. They'll visit the Denver Nuggets who have dropped five of their last seven Friday night, and I think the visitors are catching too many points to pass up on.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Woes - The Nuggets have dropped three straight in the Mile High City and they're 14-35-2 ATS in their last 51 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. The Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last five on the road.

2. Recent Meetings - The Nets defeated the Nuggets 105-104 home home in Brooklyn on Feb. 8 and they're 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings in the series. They're 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in Denver, winning the past two by an average of 25.5 points.

3. X-Factor - The Nuggets have received a huge blow with small forward Danilo Gallinari possibly done for the season.

Selection: This is a play on the Brooklyn Nets (10*)
