The Warriors are a team that doesn’t take losses lightly where they’ve gone 7-1 ATS in their last eight games following a SU loss. As for the Nuggets they don’t do well covering the spread in games after covering the spread where they’ve gone just 1-6 ATS in their last seven following an ATS win. The Warrior have been the profitable team in this series going 7-2 ATS in their last nine meetings. They also have played well against Northwest Division opponents, going 10-4 ATS in their last 14 against them. The Warriors have proven to be the more consistent team, while the Nuggets have been lacking that all season, which I why I like the better team to persevere in this one. Back the Warriors to get revenge and lay the small points.
