Golden State Warriors vs. Denver Nuggets Prediction
Golden State comes into this game with a record of 12-6. There were a lot of questions surrounding this team entering the season.After years of being the best team in basketball, the Warriors have struggled the last two years.
Last season, Golden State missed the playoffs entirely, which led to an overhaul of the roster. Golden State did not re-sign Warrior Legend and future Hall of Famer Klay Thompson. Thompson won four NBA Championships with the Warriors.
Golden State added talent in free agency while relying on their younger players on the roster to step into larger roles. The Warriors will attempt to snap their four-game losing streak tonight.
Steph Curry leads the team with 22.5 points per game and 6.3 assists. Andrew Wiggins has averaged 17.4 points and 4.4 rebounds. Veteran Buddy Hield has been solid in his first year with the Warriors, averaging 15.3 points and 3.5 rebounds.
Denver begins the contest with a record of 10-8.
After winning the finals two years ago, the Nuggets came up short of their goal last season. Head Coach Michael Malone is confident his team will be in the mix for another NBA Championship this year.
Denver comes into the year with high expectations as they are one of the betting favorites to win the West.
The Nuggets have lost two of its last three games and will attempt to return to form tonight. Denver comes into the game as a four-and-a-half-point favorite.
