T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors.

I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Denver Nuggets in this game on Sunday. I think the Warriors have looked really good in this series against the Nuggets so far. The Warriors have taken a commanding 3-0 lead in the series and I think they are going to complete the sweep in this game. The home games for the Warriors were not even close with Golden State winning both of the 1st 2 games by 10+ points. They won their most recent game by 5 points in Denver to take a 3-0 lead but the amazing thing is that Steph Curry has not even been in the top 3 on his team for minutes played in the 1st 3 games of this series. Curry has still been dominating in the games though and if they find themselves down early, I expect Curry to get a lot more time in the game and bring them back. I think the Warriors will be motivated to get the sweep here so they can show the league that they are indeed back after all those years and I also think it will be good for them to get some rest before the next round since they have been dealing with injuries to multiple key players all year. The Nuggets haven't looked good lately but they were starting to diminish a bit coming into the playoffs. They had lost 2/3 of their final 3 games of the regular season and have now lost 4 in a row to make it just 1 win in their previous 6 games. Nikola Jokic has still looked great in these games but he doesn't get a lot of offensive contribution from the other players on his team and I don't think he is enough to beat a team like the warriors. I think the Warriors are going to win this game and cover the spread here, closing out the series with the Nuggets. I like the Warriors to cover the spread.

T.M. Prediction: 121-113 Warriors.
