Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

Right when it looked like the Nuggets were turning the corner, they dropped three of their last five games, which included a horrendous home loss to the Wizards. The Nuggets are also just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The Warriors have been a different team since the Jimmy Butler trade, and they’ve won nine of their last 10 games. The Warriors haven’t lost a home game in a month and a half. I’m not eager to step in front of the Warriors given their current form. However, there are a lot of major names on this injury report, so check for updates before betting. Still, at the time of this writing, I’ll lay the points with the Warriors.
