| Team | Opening Odds | Game 1 | Bets% | Handle% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warriors | -200 | -250 | 23% | 53% |
| Nuggets | +170 | +190 | 77% | 47% |
Surprisingly, most of the bets coming in here are on the Denver Nuggets with 77% but when looking at where the handle is, it's 53% of the handle on the favored Warriors. During the regular season, the Nuggets had the upper hand.
Denver was 3-1 against the Warriors with Golden State's lone win coming in January back at home. The issue for the Warriors is if they will be healthy enough and more specifically, how healthy is Steph Curry.

The Warriors go as Curry goes and Curry hasn't played since March 16. While most point to the Warriors scoring, as they should, they also rank second in defensive efficiency. Draymond Greene is leading the charge there but he'll be asked to contain Nikola Jokic which is no easy task.
The Nuggets have gone on deep runs each of the last three years. Will they be able to do it again or will Steph Curry take over in the playoffs once again? We'll see but the oddsmakers are heavily leaning towards the latter.
