Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors 15/04/15 Prediction and Betting Pick. Golden State plays host to the Denver Nuggets as -11 favorite and a 215.5 line at 10.30 PM ET on Wednesday, April 15 2015.
The 30-51 Denver Nuggets go into Oracle Arena to take on the 66-15 Golden State Warriors.
With Golden State gearing up for the playoffs and have shown they are ready by building a 27 point lead on Monday night against the Grizzlies and then hanging on for a 4 point win. Because of this they have every reason in the world to sit some of their starters. Tonight game against the Nuggets means nothing to the Warriors as they won’t meet them in playoffs. They really have no incentive to win and may just play their lower backups to them some extra practice. We doubt the starting line-up will see any more than 20 – 30 minutes of play tonight if any.
On the flip side Denver which led the Clippers Monday by six points led on the performances of Faried with 19 points and 17 rebounds and his 12 double double in 21 games and Wilson Chandler who grabbed 32 points for a season high total. All that said the Warriors have backup players who can actually win against Denver in Lee, Speights and Iguodala who in essence could be starters on any NBA team. We doubt Golden State will push itself tonight and will be more focused on getting ready for the playoffs. Denver on the other hand will want the win and play to win it ending their season on a high note.

Sure the Warriors have a 17 game home win streak on the line, but this game means nothing to them. Not that the games for the last 1.5 weeks did either, but this is different. The Nuggets are unlikely to just lay down knowing that they could end the season on high note tonight with a victory over what appears a team destined for the championship. Even if Golden State comes out with fire in their eyes it would difficult to envision them having the starters out late in the game to extend the margin.
