Denver Nuggets Form & Team News

After a close road loss against the Trail Blazers, the Denver Nuggets bounced back with two straight home wins over the Sacramento Kings and Miami Heat, improving their record to 5-2.

The Nuggets are still not at their desired level, but at this stage, the most important thing is that they’re winning. It’s clear that the team’s new players still need time to fully adapt to coach David Adelman’s system.

That especially applies to Cam Johnson, who joined as a replacement for Michael Porter Jr. and is expected to provide reliable perimeter shooting. So far, he has struggled to find his rhythm, and his shooting percentages are quite low.

However, Denver can afford such growing pains because Nikola Jokic is playing phenomenal basketball to start the season. He may not be scoring as heavily as in previous years, but his all-around numbers are among the best of his career.

Against the Miami Heat, he recorded another monstrous triple-double, finishing with 33 points, 15 rebounds, and 16 assists - completely dismantling the Heat defense.

He was excellently supported by Aaron Gordon, who scored 24 points, while Tim Hardaway Jr. added 18 points off the bench in just 24 minutes.

Golden State Warriors Form & Team News

The Golden State Warriors have been inconsistent at the start of this season, unable to maintain a steady level of performance. At times, they look like one of the most dangerous teams in the league, but then they suffer unexpected drop-offs and losses that simply shouldn’t happen to a championship-caliber team.

Such defeats include the losses to the Milwaukee Bucks, who were without Giannis Antetokounmpo, and to the severely depleted Indiana Pacers, who played without almost their entire starting five.

They stopped the bleeding with a win over the Phoenix Suns, but then suffered another disappointing loss to the Sacramento Kings - though that one can be excused since Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green were all out.

The latter two are expected to return for the game against Denver, but Curry is still battling illness and will remain unavailable. It will be interesting to see how the Warriors adapt to playing without their superstar and who steps up offensively in his absence.

Head to head

The first meeting between these two teams this season ended with a Warriors win after overtime, 137-131, highlighted by Aaron Gordon’s 50-point explosion and Steph Curry’s 42 points.

Verdict

GS Warriors @ DEN Nuggets

Even with Stephen Curry in the lineup, the Nuggets would have been favorites in this matchup - and his absence only increases their chances.

The Warriors’ defense will face a huge challenge trying to slow down Denver’s offense, which scored 130 and 122 points in their last two games. Adding to the visitors’ problems is the fact that the Nuggets will be highly motivated to avenge their earlier loss.

It’s hard to see the Warriors keeping up unless they deliver an almost perfect offensive performance. This looks like a long night ahead for the short-handed visitors.
