Aaron Gordon to score 20+ points (+280)
Outside of Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon, the Nuggets didn’t get much offense from anyone in particular during their loss against the Jazz on Wednesday night. Gordon had a really solid game with 22 points and 10 boards on 10-for-17 shooting, continuing his solid play from last seasons playoff series against the Warriors. Following a slow start in the first 2 games of that series, he capped it off with 18, 21 and 15 points over the 3 final games — which is encouraging ahead of tonight. This team has a lot of potential coming into this season, but already there are questions surrounding Jamal Murray’s health as he is listed as day-to-day ahead of tonight’s game. Not having him would be a big blow to their ambitions, but if that were to happen Gordon is more than capable of stepping up. He averaged 15 points per game on 52% shooting last season and against a Warriors side that isn’t really deep down low, he has a solid chance to have another high scoring game.

Stephen Curry 5+ made threes (+142)
Speaking of high-scoring games, Stephen Curry is already off to a solid start to the year after a 33 point explosion in game 1 of the season against the Lakers. Although he didn’t shot it particularly well from deep (4-for-13 on the night) he was still able to finish the game at a solid 10-for-22 from the field. At this point we are almost accustomed to seeing him dominate against the Nuggets in the regular season. Over his last 13 games against them he has drained at least 5 threes a whopping 10 times. During the playoff series the defense did get a bit tighter, but he still averaged 3.8 made threes on better than 42% shooting in 5 games. Although Nuggets do have some solid wing defenders, Golden State just has too many weapons out there and Curry will most likely once again be a major problem for them. Look for him to have a big game.
