Preview
The Golden State Warriors continue on the road and will visit the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. These teams have faced two times already this season and the Nuggets have the lead 2-0. Both have been close games but the Warriors will have most of their stars out for this one.
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS
The Warriors have struggled lately losing their last 4 games and they'll be missing their best players. They're 17-14 on the road and have a 43-21 record ranking second in the Pacific. They're coming from a loss against the struggling Lakers. Steph Curry scored 30 pts but he has been ruled out for this game.
Stephen Curry is averaging 25.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.4 assists. Klay Thompson is averaging 17.1 points and 2.9 assists for Golden State.
In their last 10 games, the Warriors are 2-8, averaging 111.2 points, 40.6 rebounds, 25.4 assists, 9 steals and 4 blocks per game while shooting 46.8% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 115.5 points per game.
INJURIES: Almost immediately after Saturday's loss to the Lakers, coach Steve Kerr told the media that all three of Curry, Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson will be withheld from Monday's game. Iguodala, Payton Green are out as well.
DENVER NUGGETS
Denver have won their last 2 games and are 19-11 at home ranking second in the Northwest Division. They will play the 4th straight game at home after beating the Pelicans in overtime on Sunday. Jokic scored 30 of his 46 points in the fourth quarter and overtime and the Nuggets rallied after squandering an early 21-point lead to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 138-130.
Nikola Jokic leads the team with 25.8 points, 13.8 rebounds and 8 assists for the Nuggets.
In their last 10 games the Nuggets are 8-2, averaging 117.8 points, 47.6 rebounds, 27.4 assists, 7.8 steals and 3.7 blocks per game while shooting 48.2% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 110.6 points per game..
BETTING TRENDS
Golden State are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games.
The total has gone OVER in 8 of Golden State's last 9 games.
Denver are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games.
Denver are 13-17 ATS at home this season.
Prediction
The Nuggets are coming from a tough game against the Pelicans but they continue at home so they should be well rested enough to beat a struggling and shorthanded Warriors team who are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games. The Nuggets are on fire and they should win this game easy.
PICK: Nuggets -8 (-110)
