Betting Golden State as a 4.5-point favorite against visiting Denver is a bargain on the NBA lines. The Warriors have been red-hot since acquiring Jimmy Butler, losing just one game with him in the lineup (14-1).

Nuggets vs Warriors Prediction
Jimmy Butler has unlocked the Warriors even if his NBA stats are not eye-popping. Since he joined the team, only the Cleveland Cavaliers have had a better record and net rating. The Warriors are 10-6 as NBA basketball picks against the spread (ATS). Denver is also just 1-6 ATS in its last seven conference games. Golden State handles business at home.

Nuggets vs Warriors Best 3 NBA Player Props Today
1. Warriors G Stephen Curry Over 4.5 3-Pointers
Stephen Curry is one of the biggest winners of the Butler acquisition. He’s inserted himself back into the NBA MVP odds race and is putting up 28.6 points with a 67.9% true shooting percentage. Butler has opened the floor for Curry and he’s nailing nearly five 3-pointers a game. Bet on him to hit at least five 3-pointers here as his hot shooting continues.

2. Nuggets C Nikola Jokic To Record Triple-Double (+100)
Speaking of MVPs, Nikola Jokic plays like one every night regardless of the result. He’s averaging a triple-double with 29.1 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 10.3 assists. The three-time MVP has averaged something similar in his last 10 NBA matchups with the Warriors. He’s a lock to get another here.

3. Warriors G/F Jimmy Butler Under 17.5 Points (-108)
Jimmy Butler wins wherever he goes. He’s 35 and made some drama to get out of Miami but it’s been worth it for him and Golden State. And it doesn’t matter what his stats are. He’s only scoring 16.4 points on 44.2% shooting with Golden State, per Nuggets vs Warriors stats. But as long as it leads to wins, no one will complain. Still, we’d recommend betting against his points prop.

Nuggets vs Warriors Total Pick
We’re in for a high-scoring game here. Golden State has the second-best defensive rating since the deal (108.2) but Denver also has a 119.3 offensive rating, per NBA betting trends. The Nuggets score a lot of points and also give up a lot, which is why their games average a total of 237 – just above our line here. Golden State has put up 120+ points on average with Butler. Bet this one to go over in NBA predictions.
Bet on Nuggets vs Warriors Over 236.5
Nuggets vs Warriors ATS Pick
We’ll back Golden State confidently here. The Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last five games against Denver and are 6-0 at home. These wins have come against teams like Detroit and New York. Denver also has struggled to cover as a visitor at a 47.8% rate. Not only will the Warriors cover, but they’re worth a bet on the NBA championship odds.
Golden State has championship-caliber defense and if everyone stays healthy — the latest NBA news doesn’t have anyone on the injury list — the offense will be strong enough to beat the best teams. Bet Golden State ATS.
