Randy’s Pick

There's a path for the Golden State Warriors to win this game, given that Murray is out for the Nuggets. However, the Nuggets have been a buzz saw at home this season, where they're both 5-0 SU and ATS. The Nuggets have won 3 straight games against the Warriors. The Denver Nuggets have just been so consistent on both sides of the ball to where I'm not eager to step in front of them, especially with the reasonable chalk. Give me the Nuggets.
