Game Preview
This Thursday at the Ball Arena in Colorado, the Golden State Warriors, the defending NBA champions, will play host to the Denver Nuggets. The Warriors are aiming for sixth place in the conference and a straight entry into the playoffs, while the Nuggets are currently the top team in the West.
It will be interesting to see Nikola Jokic and Steph Curry, two two-time NBA MVPs face off against each other, but also to observe the Warriors, who have recently been in slightly better shape. They were defeated by the T-wolves last night in Minnesota, and they now face a more difficult obstacle.
Last night in Minneapolis, the Golden State Warriors took a 119-114 defeat following overtime. The Warriors had won four out of their previous five games prior to this incident, and the T-Wolves were also on the rise, thus this setback shouldn’t be viewed as horribly as many people might think.
Let’s check the latest picks, NBA news, stats and NBA expert picks for Warriors vs Nuggets. We’ve plenty of NBA predictions for you to consider.
Since Steve Kerr and his team have improved over the past month, last night’s loss was unavoidable. While D’Angelo Russell scored 14 points in the final quarter to exact some type of revenge on his former team, the Warriors only managed four points in overtime.
The Warriors’ 58 rebounds, of which Draymond’s 12 constituted the team high, is a plus. Jordan Poole finished the game with 18 points, while Steph Curry finished with 29 points and 10 rebounds. Meanwhile, Wiggins added 16 points, and Klay scored 14.
On the other side of the court, the Denver Nuggets defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 122-113 to beat them at home after a three-game road trip. The Nuggets required this after consecutive defeats in Milwaukee and Philadelphia.
Jokic recorded another triple-double with 26 points, 18 rebounds, and 15 assists, bringing his overall average to one per game. By the way, he had a 10-for-14 field goal percentage.
More significant than this was Jamal Murray’s 32 points, including seven three-pointers, six assists, and five rebounds. For the remainder of the season, Denver will really need more similar performances from Murray if they don’t want to solely depend on Jokic.
