Golden State Warriors at Denver Nuggets Preview & Picks

Denver are backed to cover as they win on Christmas Day.

The Nuggets have been rock solid at home this season and have repeatedly covered in recent wins over Golden State.

  • Denver Nuggets are 11-2 at home this season
  • Denver Nuggets have won the last 4 meetings with Golden State
  • Denver Nuggets covered in 3 of the last 4 games against the Warriors

Head To Head

  • Denver Nuggets lead the all-time series 107-93
  • Denver Nuggets won 108-105 when the two teams last met on November 8

Golden State Warriors Form

Golden State failed to build on a strong start, with some underwhelming form leaving them hovering around the .500 mark.

The Warriors lost their season opener at home to Phoenix, but responded by winning six of their next seven games.

Their form quickly took a turn for the worst though, as they lost six consecutive games during the middle part of November and struggled for consistency after that.

Golden State then endured a three-game losing run earlier this month that saw them fall to three conference opponents.

The Warriors responded though, putting together some wins that included a 132-126 overtime victory at home to Boston.

Denver Nuggets Form

Defending champions Denver are one of the front-runners in the Western Conference despite blowing hot and cold in recent weeks.

The Nuggets made a strong start to their defence of the NBA crown, winning each of their first four games and eight of the first nine.

They stumbled in the second half of November as they lost four times in a five-game spell, but they responded to that with a four-game winning run.

A three-game losing skid followed for Denver, but they have managed to put that behind them over the past couple of weeks.

The Nuggets have won a bunch of games, including a 130-104 blowout of Dallas when the two teams met on December 18.

Verdict

Denver’s spread record at Ball Arena is hardly flawless, but this is a team that tends to win at home.

For that reason we are giving them the benefit of the doubt against a Golden State group who are once again finding road covers hard to come by.
