Golden State Warriors at Denver Nuggets, 9:30 pm Eastern

The Pick: Denver +4 (-109), bet $10.90 to win $10

Denver’s a home dog and just beat Golden State on the road two days ago, 89-86. There’s no reason to think they can’t do it again. Furthermore, the Warriors will be without Draymond Green and James Wiseman, two big men who would’ve been able to at least slow down Nuggets center Nikola Jokic. Jokic leads his team in points, rebounds, and assists per game, and without Green to harass him, he should be able to put up big numbers and help Denver at least keep the game close. I’ll take the points.
