LiontipsGolden State Warriors - Denver Nuggets: betting tip (kef 1.70) and bets on the NBA match
Command Analysis
Current form
Golden State played a tough home game against the Boston Celtics on February 20 at the Chase Center and lost 110-121, playing without their main leader Steph Curry. Already in the first quarter, the hosts lost 32:36, and in the second they allowed the opponent to make a key breakthrough at 19:38, after which they tried to reduce the double-digit gap for almost the entire second half.
Steve Kerr's team made a bet on the perimeter, shooting 55 three-pointers and hitting 20, but the total implementation from the game was about 45% and problems in defense during pick-and-rolls did not allow to turn the tide of the meeting. The Warriors' best player was De'Anthony Melton with 18 points and active play on both halves of the court, but without Curry and against the powerful team defense of Boston, it wasn't enough. As a result, Golden State dropped to a balance of 29 wins and 27 losses, remaining in third place in the Pacific Division.
Current form
Denver put on a real show in Portland, defeating the Blazers 157-103 on February 21 at the Moda Center and delivering one of the most powerful offensive games of the season. The visitors immediately seized the initiative: 41:27 in the first quarter and 41 more points in the second, which brought a huge advantage of 82:53 by the big break.
Denver did not slow down, winning the third period 43:32 and bringing it to +54 by the final siren. The main star of the match was Nikola Jokic, who scored 32 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in less than 30 minutes with high shooting efficiency. Around him, the entire team hit 57% of the game and made 21 three-pointers, setting a club record for away match performance. The win improved the Nuggets' tally to 36 wins and 21 losses, cementing them in second place in the Northwest Division.

1.88Tip and bets
Taking into account the recent games of both teams, the upcoming match on February 22 between Golden State and Denver looks like a clash between the tired Warriors, who just lost to Boston without Curry, and the overclocked Nuggets, who destroyed the Blazers in Portland with historic performance and Jokic dominance. Denver is now in a more confident playing tone: their offense has shown fantastic efficiency from the perimeter and on the shield, and Golden State is forced to redistribute the load on players like Melton, while remaining without Curry at least until the beginning of March.
Our prediction is that Denver will win with a handicap of (-2.5) points in 1.70
