The second game on the Christmas slate finds the Golden State Warriors tipping off versus the Denver Nuggets. It’s the second of four scheduled meetings this season as the Nuggets won the initial match 108-105.
Both teams last played Saturday with the Warriors defeating the Blazers 126-106 while the Nuggets overcame an early deficit to beat the Hornets 102-95.
Season Series
Last season, the teams played three times with the Nuggets sweeping the series and on a current four-game win streak versus Golden State while also holding the all-time record having bested the Warriors in 104 of their 189 matches.
Golden State Warriors
So far, the loss of Draymond Green hasn’t negatively impacted the Warriors who are 5-1 in his absence. Steve Kerr shifted the rotations and players are stepping up in Green’s absence arguably playing their best ball of the season.
Specifically, the trio of Klay Thompson, Brandin Podziemski, and Jonathan Kuminga have been the difference. Thompson has turned a corner shooting better in this stretch, rookie Podziemski is performing like a steely vet and Jonathan Kuminga has ascended into the player the Warriors thought he could become.
Warriors Stats
Golden State ranks 16th offensively (115.3), and tied for 15th defensively (114.7) with a net differential of 0.6 which ranks in a tie for 14th overall.
The Dubs are riding the middle ground, emulating their win/loss results with a 13-15 rating against the spread this season.

- Gary Payton II, SG (OUT— foot)

Denver Nuggets
Watching the Nuggets there is a common factor at play when the team falls behind – – Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray remain an unstoppable force. The duo has always been a tough assignment, but they’re playing with the swag that comes with the confidence of being champions.
Specifically, they’ve been tested and know what it takes to win, which translates into closing out games. It’s almost comical how easily the pair stop momentum shifts and seemingly score at ease, often in clutch time to cement the victory.

Despite their record, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with a 14-15-1 record through 30 contests.

Free Golden State Warriors vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
Of the five-game Christmas slate, this match might offer the most entertainment. The reinvigorated Warriors are playing with more flow offensively and have stepped up defensively in the absence of Green. On the other side of the hardwood, the Nuggets are wearing their championship swagger and are almost unstoppable at home.
Denver is 11-2 at Ball Arena and 7-3 in their last 10 matches having moved into second in the West with their eyes now set on overtaking the Wolves (who have a hellish schedule stint on tap). Golden State has moved up to 10th and is just two games back of the fifth seed.
