Nuggets vs. Warriors Game Info
Denver Nuggets (34-19, 16-9 Away) vs. Golden State Warriors (25-8, 16-10Â Home)
Date: Monday, April 12, 2021
Time: 10 p.m. EST
Venue: Chase Center — San Francisco, Calif.
Coverage: ESPN
The Nuggets are on the second leg of a back-to-back. They also won eight games in a row before falling to the Celtics last night. Simply, the Nuggets collapse, getting outscored 31-3 at the end of the game. With a quick turnaround and playing on the road, it will be interesting to see their energy level right away tonight. Due to a knee injury, Jamal Murray had been out the past four games. He is questionable to return tonight. Nikola Jokic has continued to play like an MVP, putting up back-to-back triple-doubles. Awesemo is projecting Jokic to clearly lead the Nuggets in scoring tonight.
While the Warriors have had an extra day of rest, they haven’t been playing very well. They have just three wins in their last 11 games. However, they have won three of their past four home games. The only reason the Warriors have had success is because of Stephen Curry, who is also playing like an MVP. In his five April games, Curry has averaged 36.8 points on 54.1% shooting. Curry is projected to score over 30 points again tonight. Unfortunately, the Warriors recently got some bad news about their rookie big man, James Wiseman. He suffered a torn meniscus and may miss the rest of the season. Due to a wrist injury, Kelly Oubre is also out for the Warriors tonight.

Nuggets vs. Warriors Prediction
Golden State is 16-12 against the spread with one day of rest, and 15-11 at home this season. Denver is 14-11 against the spread on the road, 11-7 as a road favorite and 4-4 with no rest. While the Nuggets suffered a crushing lost yesterday that could still have an effect tonight, they as a team are more trustworthy than Curry essentially playing by himself.
Prediction: Nuggets -4.5
