The Golden State Warriors are going to have a real challenge on their hands tonight as they try to win their first game of the season, taking on the Denver Nuggets on the road. Game time at Ball Arena in Denver, CO, is scheduled for 10 p.m. EST. Fans can catch the game on the NBC Sports Network.
Golden State began the season with a long list of names on the injury report already, and that hasn’t changed. Kristaps Porzingis and Moses Moody remain out, but Gui Santos, Brandon Williams, and Charles Bassey are listed as game-time decisions. As a result, they weren’t very competitive in their season opener vs. the Lakers (105-127), lost to the Grizzlies (108-111), and dropped one over the weekend to Phoenix (122-131 on Saturday).
As for the Nuggets, Denver only has two games under its belt so far: one defensive battle they lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder (96-84) and a home win over New Orleans in overtime, 141-135. Nikola Jokic recorded his first triple-double of the season against New Orleans with 35 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists. He went just 13/7/5 in the season-opening loss to the Thunder.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
Golden State had a heck of a run, and Steph Curry isn’t done yet, but this Warriors team is not ready to play with the NBA’s better teams. It focused too much on retaining an aging, once-championship-caliber roster rather than improving it, nd it shows. Injuries are already an issue; they are struggling on defense (No. 22, 123 points per game allowed). Three-pointers were the team's bread and butter not long ago, but they are making just 33.6%. This is Denver’s game to win unless they give it away, but don’t count on that.
