Following a slow start, the Nuggets have perked up on the hardwood. Denver hasn’t seen that translate into NBA betting profits in the early going. Offensively the Nuggets have been fine. Of great concern is the slip in defensive production from last year’s playoff run. Denver was the Cinderella team of the 2020 Western Conference Playoffs. But their inconsistent start has gamblers treading lightly. Meanwhile, the Golden State is enjoying an immediate bump from Stephen Curry’s return. In 2019-20 the Warriors were dead without him. With Curry’s return, Golden State has regained credibility.
