The Golden State Warriors are starting to heat up again as they are now aiming for a fourth straight victory after sneaking past the lowly Wizards in a 131-126 win on Friday.

As a team, the Warriors shot 52 percent from the field and 19 of 44 from the 3-point line as they poured in 38 points in the first quarter to jump out to a 16-point lead, but they squandered that lead and needed another 39 points in the fourth quarter to escape with the narrow win at home.
Denver Nuggets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets have been in pretty good form, as they’ve won eight of their last 10 games overall and they will be gunning for a sixth straight victory after sneaking past the Jazz in a 135-129 win on Friday. Nikola Jokic led the team with a triple-double of 33 points with 15 rebounds and 12 assists; Jamal Murray added 31 points with six rebounds and 14 assists; Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 21 points off the bench, while Aaron Gordon chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Nuggets shot 47 percent from the field and 19 of 48 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they squandered a 12-point lead to trail by 14 points before they turned it on with 37 points in the fourth quarter to come away with the gritty win in front of their home fans.

Nuggets vs Warriors Prediction
The Warriors are still missing Stephen Curry, Moses Moody and Jimmy Butler III with Will Richard, Quentin Post and Seth Curry all questionable, while the Nuggets don’t have a single player listed on the injury report. These teams have clashed three times this season, with the Warriors leading the series by 2-1, but the Nuggets have a major advantage in this meeting given the long list of injuries the Warriors are currently dealing with. The Warriors have been good enough to string together three wins in a row, but I think that run comes to an end against the Nuggets, who should have too much firepower in this meeting.
