The latest encounter ended in a tight win for Denver 119:115. Moreover, Jokic and company have outplayed the "Warriors" for 9 consecutive matches.

Golden State Warriors

Steve Kerr’s team is on a roll with a 7-game winning streak. Their last game was a close match against New York which they won 97-94. There have also been some other blowouts, like the ones against Sacramento 130-104 and Portland 130-120. We expect that during their game against Denver, they will have to turn up the pace – containing one of the league’s superstars, Jokic, will be a challenge. As a result, Curry and the rest of the group will have to become increasngly more inventive to score. Indeed, some numbers for the Warriors are quite subpar, but if you check their previous games, most of them exceeded 45% from beyond the arc. They do have one of the best shooters in basketball after all. Another thing that must be mentioned is the good ball movement with 29.2 assists per game. The “Warriors” are exceptional at steals as well, and thanks to Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, they sit in 5th place in this category.

Denver Nuggets

Not long ago, the Nuggets faced an unanticipated setback with the Wizards (123:126). Their defensive side is suffering from serious difficulties allowing 116.9 points on average (25th in the NBA). If it wasn’t for their stellar offense (121.2) they would be sitting in the cellar of the Western Conference. For as long as Murray continues to score and Jokic orchestrates his plays perfectly, the visitors keep their heads above water. This will be the same for the clash with the “Warriors”. Denver has huge incentive to make up for their previous defeats and defend the cup where they clearly have an edge. Their opponent lacks methods of stopping the Serbian giant. His particular effort is what has most recently propelled the team to the top of the league with assists (31.1) and field goal percentage (50.7%). Defensively, the visitors have been far too generous with their opponents in giving wide open looks from beyond the arc. On the road against Golden State, this will prove to be a nightmare for their defense.

Prediction

In this contest, there is no obvious top choice. GSW is on a roll, but they also have perimeter potential. Denver has the MVP of recent years, and he will continue to make a great number of interesting plays. Offensively, both teams will try to outshine each other. For the host, defense is more of a given than for the guests. The Nuggets will strive to increase the pace repeatedly, which can improve their currently poor performance. They won't need defense until the end, but the Warriors do. For that reason, our editorial team suggests trying to bet on Golden State to win with a handicap of (-5.5).
