The Warriors are favored by 2 points, but the Nuggets have a good chance to cover the spread. The Warriors have been strong defensively, allowing just 109 points per game. However, the Nuggets are coming in as underdogs and can keep the game close. The recommended pick is the Nuggets to cover the +2 spread at -113.
