The Curry and Lendeborg 5 Leg Mile High Parlay, by Agent Dime
Five lines, four from Golden State. Stephen Curry's and Brandin Podziemski's points and two lines for rookie Yaxel Lendeborg, then Nikola Jokic's assists for Denver.
Cam Johnson and Alpha Diallo are doubtful for Denver, and Gui Santos, Brandon Williams and Charles Bassey are game-time calls for Golden State. Curry, Green and Podziemski return together for the first time since Friday, so Dime watches how the Warriors split the minutes.
