The Vegas odds strongly reflect this, with Denver a -218 favorite on the moneyline and a 5.5-point favorite on the spread. Expect a high-scoring game, in line with the teamsβ previous meeting, but with Denver more likely to win, possibly by a margin close to the spread. However, the Warriorsβ star power and recent head-to-head win keep them in contention for an upset if Curry and company catch fire[1].
