Play at dawn between two groups sharing the same goal, winning the first regular season in the western region.
Golden State Warriors:
I do not think there is much to say about the Oakland team. Having the best roster of the league, he was not pressured at any moment at the moment, but he was very relaxed in the regular season, resting on players, guarding Cousin and avoiding playing on the basis of his abilities, especially in defense. Recently the hosts seem to roll (excluding the unimaginable appearance against the Mavericks), which is quite reasonable at the end of the season. The way, with which the game was completed in Minnesota, hurt the ego of the players. Particularly relevant to the warriors, measuring the astonishing aggressive rating of 125.9 points in the last four. Doubtful Iguodala.
Denver Nuggets:
The biggest pleasant surprise of the year undoubtedly hears the name Nuggets. The guests, whose position in the first octave was considered insecure in the initial predictions, came to battle until the end with the first. Without being of particular quality, with the Jokic leader and gun, their headquarters have managed not to fall at any moment under the top two positions. Initially they had followed a conservative way of play, going into few possessions and low scores, but somehow they changed philosophy, adopting a high score and pace game with an equally successful result. The team is not in the best possible position lately, numbering a negative 3-2, indicative of being defeated by Wizards. Their moderate defensive performance last but managed to receive a small number of points due to the low pace (the last in 10 last) Murray who left a wounded in the showdown with the Magic, is expected to return.
Assessment:
The upgraded Warriors could not find a better chance for an appearance-statement shortly before the start of the postseason, which would at the same time secure them first. The Nuggets are in a moderate state, and Murray may not be totally ready. Determining the rhythm is at the hands of the hosts, who expect to want to open the game. The Nuggets, on the contrary, may prefer to guard against a back-to-back fight with the spurs and the most important upcoming four games, two of which are against the third and threatening Blazers. This leads me to the Warriors over 114.5 points, at odds of 1.95 at Goalbet.
