Preview

Golden State Warriors will be meeting Denver Nuggets on Saturday in Chase Center, This will be the first game in the first round for those teams this season and anytime you watch Jokic and Steph you know that will be a fun game, They have played 4 times this season and the Nuggets won 3 of those games with only 1 win for the Warriors.

Denver Nuggets have been a bit inconsistent in the last few games as they have won 6 of last 10 games after losing to the Lakers in the last game which was useless for the standing and none of the starters played. Jokic is in a great form and should be ready to take on this warriors team that they have already beaten 3 times and 2 of them were away.

Golden State Warriors will be getting Steph Curry back in this game most likely, he is listed as probable now and Wiseman is still out for this game. The Warriors went on a 5 game winning streak at the end of the season which helped them get back to the 3rd seed to take on the Nuggets in the first playoffs round.

Trends

Denver are 6-12 ATS last 18 games.

Denver games have gone Over in 4 of last 6 games this season.

Denver games have gone Over in 9 of last 13 games.

Warriors are 5-0 straight up last 5 games.

Warriors games have gone Under in 4 of last 6 games played on Saturday.

Head to Head

Last 10 games between the Warriors and Nuggets are split 5 wins to each time but the Warriors covered 7 of those 10 games ATS with only 3 covers to the Nuggets, Nuggets are 3-1 straight up Vs the Warriors this season. The O/U is 3-7 to the Under as the Nuggets averaging 109.3 and the Warriors averaging 114 points a game.

Prediction

This is one of the most interesting matchup in the playoffs this season in my opinion as Jokic is in a great form and the Nuggets have already beaten the Warriors 3 times this season (2 of then were away) and lost only 1 game to Golden State. Steph Curry should be back for this game but he haven't played in a long time and that's why I like the Nuggets to cover tonight as I think 6.5 is a lot of points to give to the Nuggets with Jokic in form so give me the Nuggets plus the points.

Pick: Denver Nuggets +6.5 (-110)
