The Denver Nuggets host the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, as we make the best Warriors vs. Nuggets NBA player props based on the best NBA odds.
The Warriors have won five consecutive games to get above .500 for the first time since Nov. 12, and they're averaging 125.8 points during that stretch.
However, the Nuggets have won four in a row themselves, and they have the second-best record in the West.
Nikola Jokic is averaging the second-most rebounds per game this season, and when these two teams met earlier this season, he scored 35 points.
Here are our best Warriors vs. Nuggets NBA player props and NBA picks for Christmas Day (odds via our best NBA betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
Warriors vs. Nuggets NBA player props for Christmas Day
Jokic is averaging just 1.2 made 3-pointers per game this season, and he's averaging less than one made shot from beyond the arc this month. However, he has made multiple 3-pointers in nine games this season, and he attempted eight in his previous game against the Warriors.
Jokic didn't make a single shot from deep in Saturday's win over the Charlotte Hornets. However, he has failed to make a 3-pointer in back-to-back games just once this season. The real reason that happened was because he played only 16 minutes in that second game against the Chicago Bulls.
Jokic has attempted multiple shots from long range in all but three of his games this season. As a 32.7% shooter from deep, he will put up enough shots to hit multiple threes on Christmas Day.

Christmas Day has not been kind to Curry. He's scored more than 20 points just once in 10 games on Christmas, making him a great player to fade on one of the NBA's biggest days. This year, we are again fading Curry.
When these two teams met back in November, Curry scored just 23 points on 6-of-17 shooting. Additionally, all of his made field goals came from beyond the arc. The Nuggets will likely play a similar style in this game, daring the Warriors to beat them with anyone but Curry.
Denver is eighth-best in the league in opponent 3-point percentage, and they're allowing just 110 points per game. In a tough matchup, expect Curry to fail to hit his season average of 28.3 points.

Finally, we're backing Aaron Gordon to get out of a slump. He's averaging 3.4 assists per game this year, but he's dished out two or fewer assists in each of his last three games. Interestingly, though, the only game in his last four in which he did record four assists was the only game in which he played fewer than 30 minutes.
The Warriors are eighth-best in the league in assists allowed per game. However, oddsmakers are very confident in Gordon to record at least three. The price for Over 2.5 assists is -162.
When these two teams met earlier this season, Gordon recorded three assists. That performance came during a six-game stretch during which he recorded at least five assists in five games. For this price, it's worth backing him to figure it out on Monday.
