Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors preview

The Nuggets are coming off an upset loss to the Washington Wizards on Saturday. Denver lost 126-123 despite Nikola Jokic having a great game with 40 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists.

Jamal Murray had 24 points, while Russell Westbrook (22 points and 11 assists) and Michael Porter Jr. (20 points and 11 rebounds) had double-doubles.

The defeat allowed the Houston Rockets to leapfrog the Nuggets in the standings for the second spot.

The Warriors are on a seven-game win streak and have won nine of their last 10 outings. They are 14-1 with Jimmy Butler. They defeated the New York Knicks 97-94 on Saturday. Steph Curry led the charge with 28 points, while Moses Moody had 18 points.

Golden State will be desperate to end its eight-game losing streak to the Nuggets.

While this should be a closely fought game, injuries could play spoilsport. The Nuggets listed Nikola Jokic (elbow/ankle), Jamal Murray (right ankle sprain) and Aaron Gordon (calf/ankle) as questionable. The Warriors listed Steph Curry as questionable as well with a lower back strain.

Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors betting props

Nikola Jokic’s points total is set at 29.5. If he plays, he could fail to cross the mark against Draymond Green’s stellar defense. Bet on the under.

Steph Curry’s points total is set at 26.5. If he suits up tonight, he is projected to cross that mark, and we feel the same. Bet on the over.

Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors prediction

The oddsmakers favor the Warriors to get a win at home. This matchup will eventually come down to the injuries. If all players are cleared to play, this should be a closely contested game. We expect Golden State to cover the spread for a win in a low-scoring game where the team total stays under 236.5 points.
