Warriors vs Nuggets Prediction

The current betting odds have the Nuggets listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Nuggets have looked really good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall which has them right near the top of the West. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 4-0 home record. Meanwhile, the Warriors have looked good in their games this season with their 5-4 record overall which has them right in the middle of the West at the moment. They haven't been a good road team though with their 1-4 road record this season. They are off a loss to the Kings in their last one and they aren't going to have the same urgency as the Nuggets here. The Nuggets have looked a lot better in their home games this year and now they have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row. They are also 0-1 in the NBA Cup group stage while this is the first game of the NBA Cup for the Warriors so the Nuggets are going to have more urgency here, trying to avoid falling into a 0-2 hole. The Nuggets have added a lot more depth to their team this season too and they are playing well right now, they can take advantage of a Warriors team that has been struggling on the road to start the season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Nuggets to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


"I thought Al played a great basketball game tonight." - Steve Kerr on Al Horford after his team’s loss against the kings in their game on Wednesday.


"He just spaces the floor so well. He's such a weapon, and he can get his shot off so easily and quickly. It's a big deal. You know, a lot of teams have the athleticism these days, Miami included, to... get a great contest, but a guy that releases the ball that quickly and gets it off, it's a big deal. And not to mention, he just really knows how to play. Tim fits right in [with this group]." - Dave Adelman on Tim Hardaway Jr after his team’s win against the Heat in their game on Wednesday.
