LiontipsGolden State - Denver: NBA match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
The Warriors have experienced ups and downs this season, but at a crucial moment, management made the right decision by trading Jimmy Butler from Miami, which marked a turning point. The star newcomer began to progress and take responsibility, thereby relieving Steph Curry, who began to feel more free.
In the last match, Golden State dealt with the Lakers in Los Angeles (123:116). We saw a fantastic Curry-James matchup and a lot of highlights, but this time the guests turned out to be stronger. Steve Kerr's team played extremely well - after winning the first half of the match, they managed to maintain the advantage. The trials do not end there, because the warriors are returning home, where they will meet with Denver.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gary Payton will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Warriors have won four of their last five games.
Approximate line-up: Butler - Moody, Green-Curry, Podranski.
Current form
The Nuggets have been among the top three teams in the West for a long time. The team showed good play in attack and defense, but Nikola Jokic's recent injury turned everything upside down - defeats became more frequent. The whole game was built around the Serb, so Michael Malone's players faced problems.
In a short time, Denver lost to Minnesota in overtime (139:140) and could not cope with San Antonio at home (106:113). If in the first case the failure can be attributed to the luck of the opponent, then the last match clearly showed how helpless the team is without its leader. There's a trip to San Francisco ahead, where the Warriors are waiting for them, so no easy walk is expected.
Disqualifications and injuries
Christian Brown, Aron Gordon, Daron Holmes, Nikola Jokic, Julian Strouter and Payton Watson will not play due to health problems. Jamal Murray's participation is questionable.
Interesting facts for betting
In all the last five face-to-face matches, the Nuggets have celebrated the victory.
Approximate composition: Nnaji-Tyson, Jordan-Westbrook, Pickett.

1.70Tip and bets
Golden State got in shape at the right moment- at the end of the regular season. The team is in excellent condition, Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler are in the ranks, so there is every chance to compete for victory and beat the Lakers and Denver in the standings. The match against the Nuggets will take place at the home arena, which increases the chances of success.
The Nuggets can't recover from Nikola Jokic's injury - the team immediately started to crumble. Two losses in a row put pressure on the players, although Denver still remains in the top three in the West. Michael Malone's team will try to turn the situation around, but there will definitely not be an easy walk in San Francisco. We assume that the hosts, who have caught the courage, will continue their winning streak.
Our betting tip is a Golden State victory, taking into account overtime in 2.01
Bet on the total
Both teams are fighting for the third place in the West. There is not much time left until the end of the regular season, and qualification for the playoffs is not yet guaranteed, so the opponents will give their best. Given Golden State's current form and Denver's desire to rehabilitate itself, we expect a productive confrontation.
Betting Tip - total more than 232 points in 1.72
Betting on statistics
We assume that Golden State will dominate the home arena. Denver weakened without Nikola Jokic, and Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler are in great shape, so the hosts have every chance to prove themselves in attack and break through the individual total.
Prediction – Golden State's individual total is over 116 points in 1.80
