In a clash of NBA giants, the Golden State Warriors and the Denver Nuggets are set to face off tonight at the Chase Center, where the reigning NBA champions will be slight favorites.
The Warriors, breaking a three-game losing streak, including a defeat in Colorado, are seeking redemption after their recent victory over the Orlando Magic. The last encounter between the two teams, 15 days ago, ended in a 120-114 victory for Denver, with Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic leading the champions with 28 and 26 points, respectively.
With Green suspended and unavailable for the Warriors, Wiggins stood out with 22 points in their last meeting. After that game, Coach Steve Kerr complained about the Nuggets receiving 18 free throws for Nikola Jokic as a Christmas gift.
Now, a new duel awaits, where the Nuggets will seek their 25th victory to maintain their lead in the Western Conference, while Golden State aims for a 17th triumph to re-enter the playoff race. Denver, boosted by Gordon’s return against Charlotte in the last round, approaches the game at the Chase Center with optimism.
