Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors Analysis

The Nuggets fought hard in Game 4 and were able to pick up the victory, but the Warriors will likely have an answer for them as we head into Game 5 tonight at the Chase Center. Even in defeat, Golden State still shoot 50% from the floor in Game 4, but the Nuggets went over that mark as they shot 56.2%, including 48.4% from three. Denver will likely need a similar approach for Game 5, but is it entirely realistic to expect them to shoot that well from three again? They certainly didn’t bring that element to the table early on in this series, so it will be interesting to see if that hot streak carries over tonight.

The SportsGrid betting model does have faith in the Nuggets to recapture some of that Game 4 magic, as it gives Denver a 58.34% win probability for Game 5 and also loves them on both the spread and moneyline, where Denver boasts five-star ratings. The Nuggets did cover an even higher number (+9) in their Game 3 defeat. It’s hard to say if Denver has enough to stay alive in this Game 5 tonight, but there’s certainly a realistic case to be made for them to keep the game within striking distance and cover the spread.
