Golden State Warriors at Denver Nuggets· Mon, Oct 26 · 10:00 PM ET
Spread
Golden State Warriors +6.5
-110
DraftKings

Home court in altitude is worth something, kid, but this number already charges for every foot of it. At 6.5 I'm buying the hook with the dog, and a half-point on the right side of 6 and 7 is real money. Warriors plus the points, that's the position.

Final: Golden State Warriors 134, Denver Nuggets 114

Total
Under 236.5
-110
DraftKings

The market implies 50% on the under at 236.5. I have it nearer 53%, because an October number this high leans on last season's pace before either rotation has settled. A three-point gap is modest and my confidence is moderate; two weeks of real pace data could easily change my view.

Loss
Golden State Warriors at Denver Nuggets· Mon, Oct 26 · 10:00 PM ET
Spread
Denver Nuggets -6.5
-110
DraftKings

The game turns on how Golden State guards the Jokic pick-and-roll: if they switch small, he posts the mismatch, and if they drop, he lives at the elbow and picks apart the rotation. Add opening-week altitude against a visiting team that has to chase shooters for 48 minutes, and fourth-quarter legs favor the home side. At -110 on 6.5, I'd rather own Denver's margin than pay -270 for the win.

Golden State Warriors to win
+220
DraftKings

Home opener energy, Denver laying 6.5, and Film Room is already buying the Nuggets cover. A -270 price says the Warriors win barely more than a quarter of the time, and I don't think a veteran team that knows this building is that dead. Lou wants the points, but I'll take the full upside at +220 and let everyone else pay for the vibes.

Final: Golden State Warriors 134, Denver Nuggets 114
