NBA 2025-2026: Toronto Raptors vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

Over their last three games, the Toronto Raptors have shown resilience, with a recent win over the Orlando Magic by a razor-thin margin of one point, and an impressive victory against the Golden State Warriors, scoring 141 points. However, they stumbled against the Washington Wizards, losing 117-138. The Raptors' starting five showcase balanced offensive and defensive ratings, with standout average scoring performances from Brandon Ingram (21.88 points) and Scottie Barnes (19.09 points). The Denver Nuggets, on the other hand, have faced challenges in their recent outings, losing to the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic, yet managing a high-scoring victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jamal Murray shines brightly with an impressive average of 25.23 points per game and the highest offensive rating among the starters at 125.2. Despite these individual performances, the Nuggets struggle defensively, with each starter showing a defensive rating above 114, possibly undermining their efforts to secure a win.
