Golden State at Denver

Denver is playing with purpose right now, and it has translated into a good 9-1 record in their last 10 at home. They are not just winning. They are winning big, as the last six at home have resulted in double-digit blowouts. It also must be noted that this hasn't been done against the bad teams. They beat Dallas by 13, Toronto by 32, San Antonio by 13, Phoenix by 13 and the NBA's best Celtics by 6! Revenge could be a motivator here for Denver, but nothing is more motivating than looking at the standings and seeing 0.5 games between you and the playoffs. Golden State is just a notch above them for the 8th and final spot. This is a great matchup for the Nuggets as they perform very well vs. high-scoring teams. They are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 vs. teams that make 6+ three pointer per game. Denver is on a mission, they sit at 23-13 ATS at home this season, and they rolling over good teams at home right now. We expect more of the same tonight.
