In the Nuggets loss to the 76ers, Denver shot a better FG% (46.4% to 43.7%), but they did not play good perimeter D and allowed Philly to shoot nearly 50% from beyond the 3-pt arc.
Nikola Jokic and Emmanuel Mudiay led the Nuggets in the loss to the 76ers combining for 47 points. They were the only starters for the Nuggets that shot over 50% from the floor.
Danilo Gallinari leads the Nuggets this season in scoring (16.9 ppg) and he had been playing well and in the loss to the 76ers he did go for 18 points, but on 4/11 shooting and he missed 4 of his 5 3-pointers.
The Nuggets do have 6 players that are averaging over 12 ppg, but their issue this season has been on the defensive side of the ball, which is not good facing the loaded offense of the Warriors in this Western Conference match up.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
The Nuggets are 7-10 on the road this season.
Golden State Warriors
The Warriors rank 1st in the league in points per game and 17th in opponents’ points per game.
In their win over the Mavs in their last game the Warriors were solid on both ends of the floor shooting 50% from the field while holding Dallas to 41.9% shooting.
In the Dallas game Kevin Durant got his first triple-double for the Warriors going for 19 points, 11 boards, and 10 assists. Klay Thomson went for 29 points in the game and the Warriors easily won even though reigning MVP Stephen Curry only went for 14 points on 5/12 shooting.
The Nuggets are athletic and while they will not keep the Big 3 form scoring they have to keep them from shooting a high FG%.
In the Warriors only match up this season facing the Nuggets they crushed them in Denver winning by 24 points.
The Warriors have failed to cover the spread in 5 of their last 6 home games facing the Nuggets.
