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.
