Expert Betting Tips

The Golden State has been in great shape lately, and when this team is in optimal condition, it is extremely difficult to stop. Denver isn't likely to be either. The Nuggets, although they are above the Warriors in the standings, are probably a smaller contender than the Golden State. The fact is that throughout the championship Michael Malone's team is very weak on defense, which often prevents it from achieving results in meetings with strong opponents. Here we bet on Golden State to win in a high-scoring game.
