Denver Nuggets at Golden State Warriors Preview & Picks

Denver are tipped to cover as a slight favourite on the road.

The Nuggets have dominated Golden State in recent seasons, and unlike the Warriors, they are coming into this matchup at full strength.

  • Denver Nuggets are 9-1 in the previous 10 meetings with Golden State
  • Denver Nuggets are 3-1-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings on the road
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of the previous 9 meetings

Head To Head

  • Denver Nuggets lead the all-time series 112-94
  • Golden State Warriors won 118-104 when the two teams last met on April 4

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver enter their season-opening game having won three of their five pre-season outings.

The Nuggets began their preparations for the new campaign with a home defeat to Minnesota, falling 126-116.

They rebounded on the road though, as they beat Toronto 112-108 before moving on to Los Angeles to beat the Clippers 102-94.

Denver then made it three-in-a-row with a 124-117 victory over Chicago at home, but that proved to be their final pre-season success.

The Nuggets wrapped up their schedule on the road, losing 94-91 at defending champions Oklahoma City.

Golden State Warriors Form

Golden State enter their home opener looking to back-up their comfortable win on opening night.

The Warriors kicked off the 2025/26 season with a visit to the Los Angeles Lakers, and returned home with a 119-109 victory in the books.

They had gone into that matchup on the back of a pre-season campaign that saw them win three of their five games.

Golden State opened up with home wins over the Lakers, 111-103, and Portland, 129-123, but failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 126-116 at the Lakers.

The Warriors rebounded with a 118-111 victory in Portland, only to close out the pre-season with a 108-103 home loss to the LA Clippers.

Verdict

Golden State opened with a commanding win over the Lakers, but we are leaning towards Denver delivering here.

The Nuggets have no injury issues heading into this one, and their recent record against the Warriors, especially in the Bay Area, makes for promising reading.
