REF’s picks

Denver's potent offence should easily surpass their team total against a porous and injury-hit Warriors defence. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are primed to exploit mismatches throughout the night. However, if the game blows out early, starters might rest in the fourth quarter, slowing down the scoring pace.

1. 1The Nuggets possess multiple offensive weapons capable of exploiting Golden State's depleted rotation.
2. 2The visitors have conceded high point totals consistently over their recent stretch of matches.
3. 3A comfortable blowout could see bench players run down the clock rather than push for extra points.
