Power forward Aaron Gordon is also sick at the moment, but he has not been ruled out for tonight. Point guard Ish Smith's status is also up in the air due to a calf injury.

On the Pistons' end, point guard Cade Cunningham is out due to ongoing issues with a stress fracture in his shin. Center Isaiah Stewart will also miss tonight due to a foot injury. Power forward Saddiq Bey's ankle problems have made his status unclear for tonight.

Detroit Pistons vs. Denver Nuggets Betting Prediction

The Nuggets come in tonight handicapped by the alarming number of injuries and illnesses plaguing their team at the moment. With Jeff Green, Jamal Murray, and team MVP Nikola Jokic out of the picture, the likes of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and DeAndre Jordan will have to step up the pace tonight if the undermanned Nuggets are to build off their Mavericks win.

In one of their worst seasons yet, the Pistons are coming into tonight's game with no momentum whatsoever. While they haven't been quite as disabled by injuries as their opponents tonight, their lack of chemistry as a team has cost them dearly thus far. With Cunningham and Stewart out, it doesn't seem hugely likely that they will be able to effectively turn their luck around here.
