Green didn't practice on Monday and Warriors coach Steve Kerr was allowing that he didn't expect to have him for the game against Denver. In Green's absence, look for Kyle Anderson to be playing a more prominent role in the Golden State rotation. Kerr is already hinting that he might be shortening his rotation to get his team out of their current slump

Anderson is averaging just 15 minutes per game, his lowest number since his third of his 11 seasons in the NBA. However, he's proven to be effective at defending Jokic during his career and will be drawing that assignment in this game. That's a tall order for any player, though. Take Denver to win in the Tuesday NBA betting picks and keep Golden State's misery building.
