Anyways, in the Nuggets’ 121-111 home win over the Magic on Monday, center Nikola Jokic added one more double-double to his career total. He earned 26 points, 15 rebounds and 7.0 assists in 35 minutes spent on the court. Also, Jeff Green and Will Barton each closed out their performances with 17 points. Denver has won six of its last 10 contests. Having won back-to-back contests, they are now aiming to win their third straight game. The team is 16-15 away, 16-10 at home and 15-16 ATS on the road.
Additionally, on Monday, in the Warriors’ 119-104 road loss versus the Clippers, guard Stephen Curry scored a team-high 33 points in 34 minutes of action. Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole each contributed 13 points as well. Golden State has won seven of its previous 10 games. Though, the Warriors have lost there out of their last four contests. They are 26-5 at home, 16-11 away and 17-12-2 ATS at home this season.
Referring to ESPN’s Basketball Power Index, the Warriors have a 56.9% chance of winning.
Upon further review of other head-to-head meetings, in the past three matchups, the Warriors are 2-1 against the Nuggets. On Dec. 28, 2021, the first time these teams met during this regular season, Denver won 89-86 at Chase Center. The Warriors last defeated them on Apr. 23, 2021, when they won 118-97 at home.
Regarding Warriors’ center James Wiseman, he practiced in the team’s five-on-five scrimmage on Tuesday. It was the first time he participated in a scrimmage since his knee injury. According to the injury report, he remains out indefinitely. But, the second-year player is showing progress. It is possible the center will return to the court after the All-Star break.
Can confirm that James Wiseman will advance to 5-on-5 scrimmaging today for the first time since his injury. It’ll consist of a mix of some of the Warriors’ young players, coaches, staffers at the SF facility. Bob Myers first told @MorningRoast957 of the plan this morning.

Nuggets vs Warriors Prediction | NBA Picks
Moreover, prior to placing a bet, compare the teams’ betting records. Denver is 22-11 as a favorite, 10-14 as an underdog and 15-16 ATS away, whereas Golden State is 36-10 as a favorite, 6-6 as an underdog and 17-12-2 ATS at home. The Warriors have had a couple of hiccups over their past five games, but their only surprising loss was against the Knicks last Thursday. Both the Jazz and Clippers are playoff contenders in the Western Conference.
Entering tonight’s rematch, Golden State is a 5.5-point favorite at home. Denver won a low-scoring contest against them back in December. Nonetheless, Klay Thompson missed the game because he was still recovering from his ACL injury. Therefore, pick the Warriors to win, the Nuggets will cover the spread and the total will go under 224.
