It was only a matter of time before the Golden State Warriors started finding their groove from beyond the arc, and it’s safe to say Steve Kerr’s club is at that point now. The Dubs will look to continue their sweet-shooting ways in the Mile High City on Thursday against the Denver Nuggets.
Books opened the Nuggets as 6.5-point home underdogs with an OVER/UNDER of 221.5.
Golden State made 17 3-pointers while rolling to a 116-95 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, two nights after sinking 16 treys in Monday’s triumph over the New Orleans Pelicans. Point guard Stephen Curry made 17 3-pointers in the two wins, including his NBA-record 13 in the Pelicans game.
Denver is looking to bounce back after a tough 108-107 loss to Memphis on Tuesday when Grizzlies big man Marc Gasol knocked down the game-winning shot at the buzzer. Nuggets swingman Will Barton will miss his fifth straight contest, but he’s expected to make his return next week at some point.
OVER bettors will want to pay attention to this one. In the previous six tilts between the Nuggets and Warriors, the OVER is a perfect 6-0.
