The Golden State Warriors are fully healthy as they tip off against the Denver Nuggets in Game 1 of their Western Conference Quarterfinal. Stephen Curry returned to the lineup after missing the last 12 games of the regular season with a foot injury.
Curry was the pacesetter for the Warriors this season, leading the team in scoring, Win Shares, and Value Over Replacement Player, as per the calculations at Basketball-Reference.
The betting market has modest expectations for the two-time MVP in tonight’s contest, with Curry’s point total set at 17.5 and the under juiced to -116.
