The Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors will square off at Ball Arena on Wednesday at 10:00 p.m. ET. The Nuggets, who have a 7-1 record so far this season, are enjoying a three-game winning streak.

The Warriors defeated the Detroit Pistons 120-109 on Monday, with 34 points apiece from Stephen Curry, 34 points from Chris Paul, and 34 points from Klay Thompson.

The Denver Nuggets, the defending NBA champions, recently defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 134-116. The 2023 MVP, Nikola Jokic, finished the game on Monday with 35 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists in 35 minutes. Additionally, Jokic recorded his 108th triple-double, moving up to fourth in his career behind LeBron James.

Jokic is expected to play against the Warriors even though he has a wrist injury that shouldn’t have an impact on his play. Draymond Green is expected to start for the Warriors, but his availability will be ascertained before tipoff. He may miss the game due to a personal issue.

Judges and Spectators: Consider the Warriors

Staff writes: “Jamal Murray’s absence could be a major problem for the Nuggets in this game, even though they are currently playing at a high level.” The Warriors, eager for vengeance after losing to Denver 0-3 SU and ATS, are healthy and prepared to rumble.

Warriors +3.0 and under 227.0 are my picks.

Staff writes: “The Denver Nuggets lead the NBA in record, but they’ll have a tough time extending that tonight against the Golden State Warriors because Nikola Jokic is out with a wrist injury and Jamal Murray isn’t expected to play. Even though he will probably play, it might affect how well he shoots. The Nuggets might not have the offensive firepower to keep up with the Warriors, who rank sixth in the league in 3-pointers made per game.

ESPN: The Nuggets’ chances of defeating the Warriors are 58.6%.

On ESPN’s Basketball Power Index (BPI), the Warriors and Nuggets are ranked fifth and sixth in the NBA, respectively. The Nuggets’ chances of winning on Wednesday night are 58.6%.
