The Golden State Warriors are heading into the festive season on a five-game winning streak. They have a win over Boston in there but have otherwise mostly been taking advantage of way weaker opponents and four of the five wins came at home, the only road win as a 6-point favorite in Portland.

The Warriors have managed to win without Draymond Green (suspension), but with no one to lock down Nikola Jokic, I think they're about to run into some serious trouble here against a Denver team that is just as hot with seven wins in eight games.

4* PLAY ON THE NUGGETS.
