Nuggets at Warriors odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 112, Nuggets 101

Money line

PASS on the money line. The Warriors are playing too well to lose to the Nuggets at home, and the line is such that it isn’t worth it to bet more than three times what you can win.

The Nuggets are also struggling a bit offensively. That won’t go well.

Against the spread

The Nuggets have failed to cover the spread in their last three games. They have the fourth-worst cover percentage in the league at 40.6%.

The Warriors have covered the spread in their last three and are No. 2 in the league against the spread at 21-10-2 ATS.

Take the WARRIORS -7.5 (-102).

Over/Under

The Nuggets had a 14-game stretch recently in which 13 of their games hit the Over, but their last three games have stayed Under the projected total.

The Warriors’ win over the Suns hit the Over but 12 of their last 16 games have stayed Under.

Take UNDER 217.5 (-115).
