Nuggets vs Warriors Best Picks and Prediction

On Tuesday, the Warriors displayed strong play on both sides of the ball. Despite the Dubs' 18 turnovers, their defense was strong. Considering it's early days in the season, the Nuggets could suffer due to Jamal Murray and Michael Porter's comeback from injury.

As Denver's roster also includes a few new players, the Warriors should continue their winning ways at home. In their previous 13 games, Golden State has a 10-3 ATS record.

The Nuggets have covered the spread only five times in their last 17 games against the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Warriors have gone 5-2 SU and ATS in their last seven meetings with the Nuggets.
