It's dangerous to step in against Golden State. But this is a clear flat spot for the Warriors.

Golden State is 5-0 beating all playoff teams. The Warriors' last two victories were grudge matches against the Grizzlies and Clippers.

The Warriors play again on Saturday so they'll want to rest players and reduce starter's minutes.

Denver is a young, up-and-down team. The Nuggets are capable, though. They proved that upsetting Houston on the road. The Nuggets are not a bottom feeder having defeated the Lakers by 11 points on the road.

The Nuggets should play hard here after losing by 12 at home to Utah last night. Fatigue is not an issue this early in the season.

This is an inflated line and needs to be taken advantage of.
