Unless this turns into a rest night for Steph Curry (he was listed on the daily injury report), the spread might be overreacting to the Warriors' flat effort last night vs. the Nuggets, who won at Chase Center even minus Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Still, the Dubs are 14-3 since the Jimmy Butler trade (14-2 with Butler on the floor), and Steve Kerr's troops had been on a season-best seven-game win streak into last night. Butler also scored a team-best 23 vs. Denver last night. But what of the Bucks, who have lost four of six, and weren't competitive vs. OKC on Sunday? Dame Lillard (groin) and Giannis (knee) also made the injury report, but both expected to play. Play Warriors

The market made an extreme reaction to a rare Warriors dud vs the Nuggets backups. GS was -2.5 on the opener. The Warriors are 12-2 in their last 14 games and 14-2 when Himmy Butler plays. They won't go 8/33 behind the arc here. GS is 7-10-1 ATS after a loss - Steve Kerr gets their attention quickly. I can live with 6-5 SU with no rest. They haven't been a dog since 2/6. The Bucks are 2-4 in last 6 and lack of depth. The Bucks are 6-8 ATS last 14 on road and 7-11 ATS as road favorite. Greek Freak has been great but the rest of his cast beyond Dame is suspect. MIL just 18th on offensive rating on road.

Not a huge team totals guy, but it's the second of a B2B for the Dubs and Coach Steve Kerr seemed to all but guarantee that Steph Curry would get the second of a B2B off as he's "exhausted." Curry really struggled last night in a shockingly bad home loss to very short-handed Denver where the Dubs only had 105 points.
