Golden State has looked incredible as they have won the first two games by an average of 18 points a game.<\/p>\n Tonight’s game is set to tip at 10:00pm EST. from Ball Arena. We will be tackling this game from a player props and team totals perspective.<\/p>\n Nuggets vs Warriors Team Total Props<\/h3>\nThe Golden State Warriors are favored by 2 points with a total of 223, setting the Nuggets team total at 110.5 and the Warriors at 112.5.<\/p>\n The first two games of this series have had nearly identical scores of 126-106 and 123-107 with the Warriors obviously coming out on top of both games.<\/p>\n Now that we are in the post-season and Draymond Green has his legs under him we are seeing that Warriors defense we have become accustomed to. They have made it a point to not let Nikola Jokic beat them. It’s possible that the Nuggets role players step it up at home, if not this could be a quick series.<\/p>\n The Warriors have scored well over 120 points in each game with limited minutes from Steph Curry, although Curry made the most of them last game with a game high 34 points. Their total being set at 112.5 seems a bit low, let’s go over.<\/p>\n Team Total Prop Play: Golden State Warriors Over 112.5<\/strong><\/p>\n We have seen the emergence of a future superstar in Jordan Poole during these two games and the end of the regular season. Poole has scored 29 & 30 points on a combined 19 for 29 from the field.<\/p>\n The Warriors have done an amazing job defending and limiting Nikola Jokic. He has fallen well below his Points + Rebounds + Assists total in both games.<\/p>\n However I feel like he might go off at home so taking his unders may be playing with fire. However his teammate Aaron Gordon has been non-existent in this series. He’s shot a pathetic 6 for 19 from the field and 1 for 7 from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n He has totaled only 15 & 13 PRA’s and his PRA total is set high at 22.5. Seems like the books are late to adjusting this line. Let’s go under.<\/p>\n Player Prop Play: Aaron Gordon Under 22.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists<\/strong><\/p>\n We always take our top player prop lowered or raised as much as possible, however it looks like DK isn’t going to let us use any Gordon unders on same game parlays.<\/p>\n As a matter of fact they aren’t allowing many unders in general. Let’s shift gears and take a shot on Nikola Jokic scoring the first basket at +280.<\/p>\n Obviously he will be in the mix on the Nuggets first possession. Being at home and down 2-0 he will surely be aggressive. It’s a shot in the dark, but without unders available in the SGP market I’m taking big plus money on Jokic scoring first.<\/p>\n First Basket Scorer: Nikola Jokic +280<\/strong><\/p>\n \n \n |
