<p><em>The Denver Nuggets will take on a team in the Detroit Pistons that they have managed to defeat in each of their last five meetings. That record extends to 10-2 over the last 12 meetings.</em></p> <p>However, the Pistons are a very different proposition this year, having had a very positive NBA regular season. They are among the very best in the league, leading the Eastern Conference.</p> <p>Still, the Nuggets are among the best in the West, as they keep on the tails of the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs. As a result, this game is highly intriguing, as there could be betting value across the markets available at Sportsbet.</p> <p>So, what can we expect to see from this game on Wednesday, January 28, at 13:00 AEDT? Let's preview the upcoming clash as we make our Denver Nuggets vs Detroit Pistons betting predictions…</p> <h2>Denver Nuggets vs Detroit Pistons: Betting Preview</h2> <p>As we revealed, the Denver Nuggets rarely lose to the Detroit Pistons.
