Golden State Looked Sharp Against The Clippers

The Warriors snapped out of a defensive slump on Tuesday night in a 112-97 win at home over the Los Angeles Clippers. Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole each scored 20 points while Jonathan Kuminga led the team in scoring with 21 points off the bench. This marked just the third time in Golden State’s last 11 games that the Warriors have held an opponent to under 115 points.

Golden State is now 2-0 ATS over its last two games after having gone 2-8 SU and 1-9 ATS over its previous 10 games. Winning by double digits on a night when Stephen Curry scored only 15 points and went just 1-for-6 from three-point range could be just what the Warriors needed to help break out of this recent slump.

The Warriors will have some absences in Denver tonight with Andre Iguodala (back), Otto Porter Jr. (illness) and Gary Payton II (knee) all ruled out against the Nuggets.

Nikola Jokic Is Playing At An MVP Level In March

Denver improved to 4-0 SU over its last four games with a 106-100 win over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. Nikola Jokic had another big game with 38 points, 18 rebounds and seven assists. The reigning NBA MVP is averaging 34.5 points, 15.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists through four games in March.

Jokic has been the driving force behind the team’s 12-2 SU and 9-5 ATS run over its last 14 games. With Jeff Green out due to personal reasons and Will Barton listed as questionable with an ankle injury, the pressure will be on Jokic to carry the team again on Thursday night.

Bettors taking Denver as their Warriors vs Nuggets prediction will be hoping for another game like Jokic’s last one against the Warriors, when he scored 32 points and recorded 15 rebounds and 13 assists.

Warriors vs Nuggets Pick & Insights

Warriors: Keys To Cover

Golden State has to ride the momentum of its strong performance on defense against the Clippers into Thursday night’s game. The Warriors have a golden opportunity to break their slump against Denver as a Warriors vs Nuggets prediction with Jokic’s supporting cast depleted in this matchup.

Nuggets: Keys To Cover

Nikola Jokic has dominated the Warriors this season with 29.7 points, 17 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game. Another game against a Golden State defense missing Draymond Green should give Jokic and the Nuggets the chance to get the job done as a Warriors vs Nuggets pick at home.
