Denver Nuggets vs. Golden State Warriors Game 5 Predictions

The Golden State Warriors are coming back home to close the series against the Denver Nuggets. The Warriors were by far the better team in most of the series and it would be a miracle if the Nuggets manage to win another game in this series. Nikola Jokic is playing consistently good but it is hard to believe that two other Denver players will score over 20 points which was the case in Game 4. The Warriors, on the other hand, have more scoring options especially when they play at home. Steph Curry will lead the way to another win and then the Warriors will have enough time to rest waiting for their next opponent from the series between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Over 224.5 points

All of the three previous games of this series went over the total points margin and there is no reason why this one will not. The Warriors will turn on all the engines and will be killing it on the offensive end going over 120 points. The Nuggets will have to try and keep the pace which will take this game over 226 points in total.

Player Prop Pick

Monte Morris over 12.5

Monte Morris finally stepped up in the last game going for 24 points for the Nuggets which was crucial for the Nuggets win. The point guard made 5 of his 7 shots from the three point territory and his confidence is definitely at the highest point in this series. Morris averaged 12.6 points per game in this series and scored 10, 12 and 10 in the opening three games of this series. The Warriors will probably build an early lead which will force the Nuggets to shorten their possessions and take a lot of threes which definitely goes in a favor of our tip.
