The Golden State Warriors will host the Denver Nuggets in their home opener Thursday night.
The Nuggets enter this game as 1.5-point favorites on the road, despite not exceling in this spot last season.
With Nikola Jokic on their team, the Nuggets will be a contender, as he is coming off arguably his best season.
Jokic led the NBA in Box Plus/Minus, which estimates the points per 100 possessions he contributes to his team above league average.
The Nuggets have made upgrades to their roster over the summer, making them a strong opponent.
