Golden State Warriors @ Denver Nuggets

Model Predicts- Nuggets ML, OVER 226.5, Warriors +3

The Golden State Warriors will end a four-game road trip this evening, with the final stop coming in Denver to take on the Nuggets.

Golden State has gotten off to a tremendous start, entering tonight with a 6-2 record and going 2-1 on its current roadtrip. Denver is in a similar position, winning seven of its first eight games.

The injury report for this matchup has some big names on it, including Draymond Green, Nikola Jokic, and Jamal Murray. As a result, our model believes Golden State can make this a tightly contested game on the road. Let’s take a look at why that is.

Golden State Warriors

• Have been one of the best all-around teams this season

  • Own +5.3 Net Rating- 7th in NBA

  • Rises to +7.5 on the road

• Team has been much better on road than at home

  • Home- 103.5 Offensive Rating, 105.0 Defensive Rating

  • Road- 119.5 Offensive Rating, 112.0 Defensive Rating

• Have made scoring difficult for opponents at all levels

  • Rank inside top 10 in opponent points per game in the paint (47.8) and opponent three-point % (33.3%)

• Injuries- Draymond Green (Personal)

Denver Nuggets

• Have looked unstoppable this season

  • +11.8 Net Rating- 3rd in NBA

  • 119.2 Offensive Rating, 107.5 Defensive Rating

• However, have big names on injury report

  • Jamal Murray is out, Nikola Jokic is questionable

• Won without Murray on Monday, but it wasn’t easy

  • Outscored 71-59 in first half against New Orleans, who was without CJ McCollum

  • Needed Pelicans second half collapse and Jokic triple double (35 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists) to pull off comeback

What’s the Play?

We all know that Nikola Jokic is capable of carrying this Nuggets team to victory, as we saw him do earlier this week. However, the absence of Murray proved that Denver may be at a disadvantage in the backcourt moving forward, and we think that will be the difference maker tonight.

Denver’s backcourt depth consists of Reggie Jackson, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Collin Gillespie, Christian Braun, Peyton Watson, and Julian Strawther. Four of those guys are either in their first or second year, and only two are true ball handlers while the rest tend to play off the ball.

That sets up plenty of mismatches from a scoring standpoint tonight, as Steph Curry, Chris Paul, and Klay Thompson have the upper hand on the offensive end of the floor against a young group. That should enable Golden State to keep things close tonight, so we’ll back them on the spread.

The Play: Warriors +3 (-110)

☎️ Lakers contact NBA about missed foul calls. The Los Angeles Lakers contacted the NBA league office on Tuesday, expressing their concerns about multiple missed foul calls during their recent 108-107 loss to the Miami Heat. Their primary grievance revolves around how LeBron James, presenting video clips that highlight what they believe to be clear instances of illegal contact by Heat defenders against James. James, who attempted only four free throws in the game, further criticized the officiating and brought up specific non-calls as evidence of the inconsistencies he observed on the court.

🔥 Heat name Haslem VP of basketball development. Udonis Haslem has returned to the Miami Heat, but this time in an executive role. The much-anticipated move was finalized on Tuesday, as Haslem was appointed as the new vice president of basketball development for Miami. Haslem, who played a key role in three of Miami's NBA championship victories and is a Miami native, had expressed his desire to join the Heat's front office or ownership group after his retirement and had already been involved with the team in recent weeks during practices.

😬 Oilers place Jack Campbell on waivers. Edmonton Oilers goaltender Jack Campbell has been placed on waivers with the intention of sending him to their AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors. The move was done in an effort to address his inconsistent performance this season, which includes a 4.50 goals-against average and .873 save percentage. The Oilers, preseason Stanley Cup contenders, have struggled with a 2-8-1 start, making them one of the worst teams in the NHL, only outdone by the San Jose Sharks.

🎉 Sharks beat Flyers for first win of season. The San Jose Sharks snapped an 11-game losing streak by defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 at SAP Center. Sharks forward Tomas Hertl expressed their excitement, emphasizing the team effort that led to this long-awaited victory. Anthony Duclair contributed a goal and an assist, while Mackenzie Blackwood's 38 saves played a crucial role in ending the Sharks' poor start, which was one of the worst in NHL history.

Anyone know what has happened on November 8th throughout history? We didn’t have a clue either, but it appears that it has been a busy day.

On November 8th…

1951- New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra wins his first MVP award. Berra did so in epic fashion, recording 27 home runs, 88 RBIs, and just 20 strikeouts across 594 plate appearances. He would finish in the top-four in MLB voting for the next five seasons, winning the award two additional times in 1954 and 1955.

1989- Chicago Cubs center fielder Jerome Walton is named the NL Rookie of the Year. Walton’s big-league career go off to a tremendous start, as he hit .293 with 24 stolen bases in 116 games and even finished 13th in MVP voting. Walton would suit up for Chicago until 1992, and played for five additional teams before retiring in 1998.

1991- Paul Coffey sets the NHL record for career goals by a defenseman. Coffey set the record with his 311th career goal, a record that he would end up extending to 396. However, his all-time mark would eventually be broken by Ray Bourque, who scored 410 goals in his career and remains at the top of the list today.
