This is the big game this week as both teams are fighting for the final playoff berth out west. Denver has taken 2 of 3 meetings this season winning both on their home court and losing at Golden St. Both teams have struggled lately as Denver is heading into this game with back-to-back losses against non-contending teams losing to Sacramento and Seattle last weekend. Heading into Tuesday's action the Nuggets have allowed an average of 130 points per game against their opponents. With a victory the Warriors will be in good position with an easier schedule down the stretch. Denver struggles on the road because they are bad defensively and if you don't defend the Warriors at home behind their good home crowd they can pound you. Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis will put a hurting on the Nuggets. Take Golden St –4.
