The Golden State Warriors visit the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday on the final day of the group stage of the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup. The Warriors have already qualified for the next round, while the Nuggets are likely treating this one as a regular-season game.
Denver still has a chance to qualify for the knockout round as long as several things happen. They need to beat Golden State by at least 16 points. The Dallas Mavericks, OKC Thunder and Portland Trail Blazers will also need to lose their respective games tonight.
Nevertheless, the Warriors and Nuggets are looking for a win regardless of the outcome of the NBA Cup. Golden State has lost four in a row and beating Denver boosts their confidence. The Nuggets are just 5-5 in their last 10 games and need a semblance of consistency at the moment.

Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets Betting Tips
Steph Curry has an over/under of 23.5 points, which is higher than his season average of 22.5 points per game. Curry's scoring has been down due to the Golden State Warriors' depth, but their losing streak might make him explode. Bet on him to go over 23.5 points just in case he decides to take over.
Andrew Wiggins is having his most consistent season since 2022 and is favored to go over 17.5 points. Wiggins has scored at least 18 points in six of his last seven games. Place your money on the one-time All-Star to comfortably go over 17.5 points.
Nikola Jokic is the favorite to win the MVP again this season, averaging a triple-double. Jokic has an over/under of 51.5 total points, rebounds and assists. He's a triple-double threat every night, so don't be afraid to bet on him to go over against the undersized Warriors.
Jamal Murray is averaging 18.1 ppg this season and has an over/under of 18.5 points. Murray has scored at least 19 points in two of his last three games. He's favored to go over, but you can go against the odds and bet on him to score 18 points or less.
Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Denver Nuggets are the slight favorites to beat the Golden State Warriors tonight. In addition to being at home, the Nuggets recently got back Aaron Gordon and are close to full health. The Warriors, on the other hand, are not the best with a limping Steph Curry.
The prediction is a win for the Nuggets, with the Warriors covering the spread. The total is likely going over 239 points.
