Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors preview
The Nuggets have lost two straight and have won just four games of the past 10. This has cut their lead over the Warriors to just 1.5 games. The third through eighth spots in the West are separated by just 2.5 games. So, there could be a lot of movement in the final two weeks of regular-season play.
Denver is coming off of a 113-106 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Russell Westbrook led the team in Nikola Jokic’s absence with 30 points and 11 rebounds. Jokic is listed as probable for Friday’s game with an ankle issue.
The Warriors will play the second leg of a back-to-back after defeating the LA Lakers 123-116 on Thursday. Steph Curry led the charge with 37 points, while Brandin Podziemski had 28 points. Jonathan Kuminga chipped in with 18 points and nine rebounds off the bench.
Golden State is on a four-game winning streak. While the team is within striking distance of the third spot, it is also just 0.5 games out of the play-in spots. Thus, it is crucial that it continues its level of play to end the regular season.
