The Nuggets (41-19) have been dominant at Pepsi Center as of late and will look to continue that reign against the Warriors (13-48) Tuesday.
Denver’s offense has powered it through an impressive run at home, winning their last three contests in the Mile High City by an average margin of 14.7 points. Michael Malone’s team has been cooking from downtown in that stretch, taking 28.3 threes per game and converting at a 44.7 percent clip. On paper, Tuesday’s matchup should be relatively straightforward for the Nuggets.
