The Nuggets are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Warriors are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The over is 5-0 in Nuggets last 5 overall. The over is 5-0 in Warriors last 5 overall. The Nuggets are 2-7-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Golden State and 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

Give the Denver Nuggets credit for forcing another game, but they've been outclassed in three of the first four contests, and they were flirting with a sweep in the fourth quarter. The Nuggets continue to have issues defensively, and they're actually losing their last five games by an average of 8.2 points. The Golden State Warriors win at home by an average of 10.3 points, and they won the first two home games of this series by an average of 18 points. You'd hate to see two series end on Wednesday in blowout fashion, but there's no reason for me to bet against the Warriors here.
