Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors prediction

The Denver Nuggets in a near pick em spot is attractive, and they've won 6 straight games against the Warriors. With that said, the Golden State Warriors are looking more and more like they're finding their form down the home stretch, and these are the spots where they pack betting value. Also, let's not forget that the Warriors were dominating the Nuggets in the last meeting until they had a historic fourth quarter collapse. The Chase Center should be rocking, and I expect the Warriors to have a chip on their shoulder. I'll side with the home team in a must-watch NBA showdown.
