Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction, Odds and Best Bet for Nov. 14, 2026
The Denver Nuggets will beat the New Orleans Pelicans, with a projected score of Nuggets 120, Pelicans 110. Denver’s better record and victory in the previous meeting provide the strongest matchup support. Neither Denver -11.5 nor the 234.5 total offers a convincing betting edge here, so the official SportsJaw recommendation is Pass, with low confidence in the projected margin.
Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Pelicans prediction and best bet
Denver is the winner pick, but the best betting decision is Pass. The Associated Press reports a 6-4 Nuggets team facing the 4-9 Pelicans, with Denver having won their previous meeting 104-91. Those results favor the visitors without making another double-digit victory automatic.
The distinction matters at Denver -11.5 (-115). Our projection gives the Nuggets a 10-point win, which would leave New Orleans inside the spread. That small cushion is too fragile to turn the projected score into an official Pelicans wager, especially with their availability unsettled.
