What to Know
The Golden State Warriors will hit the road for the fourth straight game as they head to Ball Arena at 9 p.m. ET on Monday. The Denver Nuggets will be strutting in after a win while the Warriors will be stumbling in from a loss.
Golden State came up short against the Los Angeles Lakers this past Saturday, falling 124-116. Shooting guard Klay Thompson wasn’t much of a difference maker for the Dubs; Thompson played for 31 minutes but put up just seven points on 3-for-13 shooting and four turnovers.
Meanwhile, it may have taken overtime to finish the job, but the Nuggets ultimately got the result they were hoping for on Sunday with a 138-130 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Center Nikola Jokic had a dynamite game for Denver; he dropped a triple-double on 46 points, 12 boards, and 11 assists. That makes it 13 consecutive games in which Jokic has had at least ten rebounds.
The Warriors are expected to lose this next one by 8.5. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.
The Dubs are now 43-21 while the Nuggets sit at 38-26. Two stats to keep an eye on: The Dubs have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 43.70%, which places them second in the league. But Denver comes into the matchup boasting the third highest field goal percentage in the league at 47.50%. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
