Denver Nuggets vs. Golden State Warriors betting tips

Nikola Jokic has an over/under of 27.5 points for the game. The last time the two teams met, Draymond Green was out on a suspension. With Green back in the rotation, he could limit Jokic under 27.5 points.

Steph Curry had an off night against the Charlotte Hornets. He has an over/under of 26.5 points on Sunday. The law of averages should catch up and Curry should end the game with over 26.5 points.

Denver Nuggets vs. Golden State Warriors prediction

The last time the Nuggets topped the Warriors, it took a 40-foot 3-pointer from Jokic to end the game in regulation time. Denver is favored to win on Sunday but barely so. If Murray and Caldwell-Pope do not play, bet on the Warriors to win at home. Whatever be the outcome, this should be a high-scoring game and the team total should go over 232 points.
