Golden State is enduring some criticism this season with some of it being that the team is in transition losing their rim protectors and adjusting to the presence of superstar Kevin Durant.

That talk was fueled when the Warriors were blown out by 29 points at home by the Spurs opening night.

Since then, though, the Warriors have gone 6-1. It's business as usual as Golden State leads the league in points per game and also is the top shooting team in the NBA.

The line is shorter than I'd it would come probably because the Warriors played last night and blew out Dallas by 21 points. I say the Warriors are in rhythm now and hot from beyond the arc. The Nuggets can't match that perimeter shooting. The Nuggets' rotation also is short a player as swingman Will Barton remains out.

The Warriors are 18-9 ATS when playing on zero rest. They don't play again until Sunday when they host Phoenix. So the Warriors stars should play major minutes with no reason to hold anything back for this game. The Warriors also have revenge motivation having lost last season during their previous visit to Denver.
