| NBA | (555) Denver Nuggets at (556) Golden State Warriors | 3:40pm EST - Feb 22/2026 |
The PLAY: Under +229.5 (-115)
Golden State just became much more defensive-minded adding 7-footer Kristaps Porzingis. He joins Draymond Green and Al Horford to give the Warriors an imposing defensive frontcourt.
The Warriors are feeling the absence of Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, averaging only 105.1 points in their last six games. Denver has held its last three foes to an average of 111.3 points.
The Nuggets are not fully healthy either, missing Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson. They average a combined 32 points a game.
Denver might not have Jamal Murray either. Murray, who averages 25.6 points per game, is questionable due to right hamstring tightness.
(Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 8-4 on his last 12 NBA premium plays and has a top NBA totals play today along with this free totals selection.)
