In the last five games, the Nuggets have scored an average of 110.6 points overall and 110.8 at home. These scores are significantly lower than the 129.5 points threshold set for this bet. Furthermore, the model prediction is 120.39 points for the Nuggets, which is also under the set point. Additionally, the Nuggets' recent home record is strong, with 4 wins in the last 5 games, suggesting a defensive strategy that could limit total points.
