In sports betting, there are mainstream markets that get a ton of attention in every sporting event. But sports betting is so much more than betting on point spreads and totals today.

The Golden State Warriors head to Denver for a highly anticipated Western Conference matchup against the Nuggets. This game carries significant playoff seeding implications, with both teams fighting for positioning in a tightly contested conference race.
Stephen Curry is listed as probable with a minor ankle issue but is expected to suit up. Klay Thompson remains out for at least two more weeks. For Denver, Nikola Jokic is fully healthy and coming off a triple-double performance. Jamal Murray showed no signs of knee discomfort in his last outing, logging 34 minutes with 28 points.
Golden State has won four of their last five games, with their only loss coming in overtime against Phoenix. Their defense has been particularly sharp, holding opponents to under 105 points in three of those contests. Denver, meanwhile, has been dominant at Ball Arena, winning eight straight home games and covering the spread in six of those.
