The Golden State Warriors are without Draymond Green and Gary Payton II. Andrew Wiggins is questionable, but coach Steve Kerr is expected to continue a starting lineup of Steph Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Klay Thompson, Jonathan Kuminga and Kevon Looney.

Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets have listed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Aaron Gordon as probable due to minor injuries. Both players are expected to suit up against the Warriors and start alongside Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr.

Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets betting tips

Steph Curry has an over/under of 29.5 points, which is below his season average of 28.3 points. Curry is favored to go under, so it's safe to bet on that, as he has not scored 30 or more points in four of his last seven games.

Klay Thompson is surprisingly favored to go under 20.5 points against the Denver Nuggets despite scoring at least 21 points in five of his last six games. It might be best to bet for Thompson to go over, as he's on a roll following Draymond Green's suspension.

Nikola Jokic has an over/under of 28.5 points for Monday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. He's averaging 26.4 points per game this season but is favored to go over 28.5 points. It might not be the best bet, as he has only scored over 29 points twice in his last six games.
