The playoffs have already begun and there is no excuse, the team GSW does not seek and does not have a back-to-back situation. Starting 5 with Podziemski and Moody is 13-0 while Curry and Butler together are 19-2. While the fight is on to avoid the play-in and possibly move up to 4th or even 3rd place, I am not expecting anything other than Warriors points tonight. Overall, GS is a higher level team for me than Denver, which I consider weak and poorly defending this year, and I do not see them as one of the top 3 teams in the conference, even though they are currently ranked 3rd in the standings.

Jokic plays very consistently against the Warriors, he got a couple of days off and I would say that is a very favorable situation for his over. He is fighting for a good spot in the playoffs, the opponent is suitable for favorable matchups considering his skills with the ball, so I think he will score around 37 points today.

There is not much to say here. The handicap is high, but when the Pelicans are without their entire core and even Jordan Hawkins won't play, I don't see any chance for them. There is nothing in the Lakers' injury list, they should all play even back to back. And because of yesterday's loss, I don't think there will be any negative effect on the team, they need to rest. I think this will be an easy win, and if the reserves don't give up, it should be a crushing final.
