Warriors vs Nuggets Prediction
The Nuggets need to start covering numbers or relying on these big lines isn’t going to fly over the course of the season. However, I said from the start of the season the Warriors will be one of the worst teams in the league, and theyve done nothing through three gmes to change that view. Throw in the injuries to key players, and this Warriors rotation is awful. Thick number, but this has more to do with the Warriors than anything else. This isn’t a good team. Give me the Nuggets in a comfortable home win.
