Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets prediction
There’s no doubt that the Warriors will be feeling the effects of that overtime defeat to Minnesota, especially after being in such a commanding position late in the game. Now, Steve Kerr has to rally his team to take on the conference leaders. Given that fatigue will likely play a part and the fact that the Warriors have struggled mightily on the road this season, it’s hard to see how Golden State keeps this one competitive. The Nuggets will no doubt smell blood in the water and will want to capitalize at the reigning NBA champions’ expense.
