Warriors excel; Nuggets struggle ahead of Monday's game

nypost.com

The Golden State Warriors will face the Denver Nuggets on Monday. The Warriors have been performing well, winning 13 of their last 15 games after adding star player Jimmy Butler. Meanwhile, the Nuggets have struggled recently, even losing to the last-place Washington Wizards. The Nuggets are having problems with their defense, particularly against three-point shooters. Over their last three games, they have allowed opponents to shoot 40.8 percent from beyond the arc, one of the worst rates in the league. In contrast, the Warriors are shooting 46.3 percent from three-point range, which is among the best in the NBA right now. The Nuggets will need star player Nikola Jokic to step up. He has been effective against the Warriors in past games, scoring over 30 points consistently. In December, he scored 38 points in one game against them. There is speculation that he might have another high-scoring game on Monday. For those interested in betting, Caesars Sportsbook is offering a promo code POSTBETDYW.
