Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

The Nuggets are getting the benefit of the doubt because they have the rest advantage. The Nuggets have also won nine straight games against the Warriors. The Warriors haven’t beaten the Nuggets since April 2022. The Warriors are coming off a big win over the Lakers where their starters played heavy minutes. With all of that said, the Warriors are now 19-2 with Butler and Curry on the court, and they have yet to lose with last night's starting lineup. Big game in terms of seeding in the competitive West. Like last night, the value is with the Warriors and the points in a game they could easily win outright.
