Warriors have a 23-9 home record, while the Nuggets are 16-15 on the road. Warriors are better offensively, scoring 118.2 ppg to Nuggets’ 112.1 ppg, while Nuggets are better defensively, allowing 107 ppg to Warriors’ 112.4. Warriors have better percentages both in field goals (48.8% to 46.8%) and in 3-pointers (37.8% to 35.5%). Nuggets on the other hand are better both in boards grabbed (46.9 to 46.2) and in turnovers committed (13 to 13.6), while Warriors are better in dimes made (29 to 27.7). Warriors are the favorite at home but Vegas odds give them a -6 spread and don’t expect them to beat the odds as the Nuggets will definitely force a closer game than that.
