Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets Prediction, Picks and Odds for Sunday, February 22 

Garima Ranawat

The Golden State Warriors will host the Denver Nuggets in an anticipated Western Conference clash on Sunday. The Warriors are seeded eighth in the standings with a 29-27 win-loss record, and they are entering the clash on the back of a two-game losing streak. The Nuggets, on the other hand, are the third-seeded team in the West, and they are coming off a blowout win over the Portland Trail Blazers. 

The Nuggets are 5.5-point favorites with moneyline odds at -220 and total around 230.5 points. These NBA odds tonight suggest that the Nuggets are likely to thrash the Warriors at their own home. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay and a few player props for tonight’s game. 

Here’s how we are betting Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets tonight. 

Best Bet for Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets 

Best Bet: Denver Nuggets -5.5 (-110)

Book: Best price at FanDuel 

Our best bet for Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets is Nuggets -5.5 (-110) against the spread. 

As stated, the Nuggets will enter the matchup on the back of a blowout win over the Portland Trail Blazers, and are in winning momentum. The Dubs, on the other hand, have faced two straight losses. Talking about their stats, the Nuggets rule the league with the best offensive rating, while their rivals are seeded in the middle of the rack in that aspect. 

However, defensively, the Warriors have an edge over their rivals, but overall the Nuggets own a better record. 

The spread at Nuggets -5.5 fits the guests well considering their overall record, and the Dubs’ recent form slump. Nikola Jokic and Co. cover well in such spots. 

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets 

3-Leg SGP (Safer) 

  • Leg 1: Denver Nuggets -5.5 (alternate spread)
  • Leg 2: Nikola Jokic Over 29.5 points 
  • Leg 3: Jamal Murray Over 23.5 points 

Combined odds: +591 

We have built this same-game parlay around the Denver Nuggets to record a win over the Warriors. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are key scorers for the visiting team, and are expected to make the most of their elite offense to put up some points over the Warriors. 

These legs are correlated considering if the Nuggets manage to get control over the ball and the game, their players will end up with more scoring opportunities and volume. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.

Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets Top Player Prop Odds 

Given how prop-heavy NBA betting is, we are also eyeing these player props for Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets on Sunday. 

  • De’Anthony Melton Over 13.5 points (-132)
  • Moses Moody Over 13.5 points (-118)
  • Nikola Jokic Over 13.5 rebounds (-104)

These legs fit well into usage and volume. With the Dubs missing key players, Melton and Moody are expected to step up and take offensive charge for their side. Nikola Jokic, on the other hand, has been dominating the glass, and we expect the same performance from him, considering the Dubs have a depleted front court.
