The Raptors failed to cover in eight straight encounters with the Nuggets including their previous four meetings at Pepsi Center, and I expect these trends to continue. The reigning champs are riding a losing streak for the first time in more than two months, so it won't be a surprise if they continue to regress. Also, the Raptors have some injury worries, while the Nuggets are coming in full strength. Denver is coming off a terrible loss and their coach ripped them saying they were wussies.
Look for the Nuggets to come out strong here at home on Sunday evening.
