Golden State fought back from a 16-point, second-half deficit and beat the Jazz on Friday night when Jonas Jerebko tipped in a missed shot by Kevin Durant with 0.3 seconds left. Durant poured in 38 points while Stephen Curry added 31, and the Warriors shot 56.3 percent. Meanwhile, Denver is playing a back-to-back after beating Phoenix 119-91 last night with Nikola Jokic exploding for 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists...and he made all 11 field goal attempts. The Nuggets shot 50.6 percent compared to 37.7 percent for the Suns. It won't be as easy to contain Golden State's offense, and the Nuggets are just 6-13-1 ATS their last 20 games after a win of at least 10 points and 5-13 ATS their last 18 against a team that scored 100-plus points its previous game. The road team is 8-3-1 ATS the last 12 meetings. Play the Warriors.
