Warriors vs Nuggets: High-Stakes NBA Cup Showdown

The final match in the Emirates NBA Cup Group Play stage is Denver Nuggets against Golden State Warriors.

The Denver Nuggets stands at an unimpressive 1-2 that gives them little chances to move on to the next round and that is as long as they will win by a margin of 16, and other related games go their way.

Latest on the Injuries and Players Lineups

Denver Nuggets will be missing Trey Alexander, Vlatko Čančar, and DaRon Holmes II. Austin Rivers (ankle sprain) and Isaiah Joe (Achilles’ tendon strain) are questionable while key players Aaron Gordon with a calf sprain and Peyton Watson with an adductor strain are listed as probable.

The GSW stars include Stephen Curry who is expected to play despite having bilateral knee soreness; and Draymond Green who has calf tightness, is listed as questionable.

De’Anthony Melton is out for the Warriors with an ACL sprain, which means Jonathan Kuminga will be at the power forward position.

Jokic vs Warriors: A Test of Strength

Denver’s three-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokić will be particularly essential. It has been in this season that Jokić scores fourth in scoring, makes the second most assists, and has the most rebounds.

This went on to recall that he had an average of fixed 31.3 points, 13 twice rebounds and a little over 9.8 assists per match against the Warriors the previous season.

With Green sidelined, the Warriors would have few options as Looney and Kuminga, having to try to stop Jokic from dominating the met.

What to Expect

The offence which the Nuggets play, is well coordinated, and they have the highest percentage of shooting three-point shots in the league of 39%.

Meanwhile, the Warriors’ defense has been poor where the teams have conceded 15.5 three-pointers for every game in the recent calendar with four defeats on the bounce.

Golden State will try to buck this trend while using Curry’s offense focused abilities.
