Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors: Can the Warriors save the season?
The Denver Nuggets are visiting the Golden State Warriors on Sunday at Chase Center.
The Nuggets are chasing the top seed in the West
The Denver Nuggets are fourth in the Western Conference with a 38-19 record. They were on a three-game losing streak before defeating the Washington Wizards and the Portland Trail Blazers on back-to-back nights. The defending champions are sixth in the league, shooting 49.2% from the field, and surprisingly, they are second-to-last in the league, making 15.5 free throws per game. Nikola Jokic is the front-runner in the MVP race, averaging 26 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 9.1 assists per game.
The Warriors have won the last three games
The Golden State Warriors are tenth in the Western Conference with a 29-26 record. They have won the last three games and are coming off a 97-84 win over the Charlotte Hornets. The Warriors are second in the league, making 15.1 three-pointers per game, and sixth in the league, scoring 119.5 points per game. Steph Curry leads the team with 27.8 points per game, and Klay Thompson is the only player this season with more than 300 three-pointers.
Betting Trends
The Nuggets have won the last six games against the Warriors. Denver is 12-6 SU in the last 18 games overall. The Warriors are 8-1 SU in the last 9 games overall and 14-6 SU in the last 20 home games played on Sunday.
Prediction and Conclusion
These two teams have met a couple of times in the playoffs in recent seasons and have built a rivalry. The Nuggets have been dominating the Warriors lately, winning the last six games, and we all remember Nikola Jokic’s game-winner the last time the Nuggets were in San Francisco. The Warriors are playing much better this month, as they have a lot to make up in order to make it to the playoffs. The Nuggets are in a comfortable position when it comes to the postseason, but they will also pick up the pace as we go into the last two months of the regular season. The Warriors are 16-14 at home this season, which is the best score the Nuggets have on the road. Denver is on top of the game every time they face the Warriors, and that will be enough to win their seventh straight against Golden State.
