Betting on the Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets had a far from ideal start to the regular season, as the team began their journey with a loss to a decimated team like the Utah Jazz, and not only lost but did so in a resounding manner, falling by a score of 123-102, which will worry their fans.
Not to be outdone, Nikola Jokić was the star of the night for the Nuggets with 27 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, but the team’s lack of efficiency with three-pointers ended up being costly, as they made just five of their 22 attempts.
Betting on the Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors also witnessed a beating in their opening game of the season, but they came out on top with a 123-109 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers to kick off their title defense campaign on the right foot.
Stephen Curry stole the show during the game, as the NBA Finals champion scored 33 points, grabbed 6 rebounds and dished out 7 assists. Moreover, the Warriors showed their good play from the perimeter in that win, as they scored just 38 of their points in the paint.
JefeBet Prediction
Will Jokic be able to carry the Nuggets’ load again? Denver won both of its visits to Golden State last regular season, but failed to win a single game when it mattered most: in their postseason meetings at the Chase Center.
Jokic didn’t have the best support around him at the moment, and the fact that they lost the way they did to Utah, is cause for concern.
Golden State looked pretty good in their game against the Lakers, with Curry starting the season on fire, so they could be back to winning ways again. However, it seems difficult that the Nuggets’ fiasco against Utah happens in two consecutive games, especially if they have a healthy squad with all of their major players, so they might certainly stay in contention this time around.
Prediction: Denver Nuggets Spread (DEN 108 – GSW 112)
