Free Toronto Raptors vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
Denver won the first meeting in Toronto in a tightly contested game that was won via a few questionable whistles in clutch time. Despite wanting payback without Valanciunas the Raptors will be in tough to guard Jokic. And if Lowry and Siakam can’t go that’s three of their top six players out.
