Nuggets vs. Warriors Betting Preview (April 12, 2021)

The Nuggets finally lost a game, but they are still one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Denver is looking to bounce back one night after losing to the Celtics on Sunday. However, the Golden State Warriors are fighting for their playoff lives in the loaded Western Conference.

Let’s take a deep dive into the different markets out there for Colorado sports bettors in our Nuggets vs. Warriors betting preview, complete with the best odds, picks, and predictions.

Nuggets vs. Warriors Betting Preview

Don’t let Sunday’s loss overshadow Denver’s impressive play of late. The Nuggets are still 6-1 since acquiring Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic is the frontrunner to win MVP. Feb. 16 and 17 were the last time Denver lost two consecutive games. Expect Jokic and company to give Golden State a fight.

Unfortunately, the Warriors are not going to be at full strength for this game. Rookie James Wiseman recently suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee and it’s unclear when he will see the floor again. Of course, the Warriors are still led by the greatest shooter of all time. Stephen Curry needs no introduction at this point in his career.

Bets We Like With A Nuggets Win

Denver Nuggets Win 1st Quarter + Win Game (+105)

We could know how this game is going to go within the first few minutes of action. The Nuggets are playing on a back-to-back and they might not have the legs to go up and down with the Warriors. However, if they come out strong early, that’s a good indication that they can win this game.

This is a double play where the Nuggets need to win the first quarter outright and win the game. It offers a nice bump in price from the Nuggets moneyline.

Bets We Like With A Warriors Win

Stephen Curry Over 31.5 Points (-110)

There is no easy way to beat the Nuggets right now. The Celtics needed to play one of their best games of the season to take down Denver, but there is a path to victory for the Warriors. Stephen Curry is still Stephen Curry. He is capable of erupting for 30+ points on any given night. If he goes off, the Warriors could send the Nuggets packing.

Nuggets vs. Warriors Prediction, Pick

Prior to their fourth-quarter collapse on Sunday against the Celtics, the Nuggets looked invincible. Denver is too good to let that kind of implosion happen again. Look for Nikola Jokic to come out and make an MVP statement in a convincing win. Take the Nuggets laying the points.

Pick: Nuggets -4
