The Denver Nuggets are coming off back to back preseason wins, but we can’t ignore the fact they haven’t played a lick of defense through 4 games, allowing teams to shoot 50 percent from the field and 40 percent from 3. The Golden State Warriors have won 9 of their last 10 preseason games, and they’re coming off their best showing yet. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. I’ll side with the Warriors at home.
