Why This Game Matters for Denver
Denver is currently the third seed in the Western Conference, just half a game ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers. With only a few games left before the playoffs, every win is important. The Nuggets have struggled recently, winning only 4 of their last 10 games.
Resting Starters Before Big Match
In their previous game against the San Antonio Spurs, the Nuggets didn’t play any of their main players. This move was likely made to keep them fresh and ready for the Warriors game.
Jamal Murray ’s Strong Season So Far
Murray has played 65 games this season, averaging 21.6 points and 6.0 assists. Since the All-Star break, he's been even better — averaging 23.3 points and hitting 44.7% of his three-point shots.
More Pressure on Nikola Jokic
With Murray out, the Nuggets will rely even more on Nikola Jokic. He will have to carry the team as they face a strong Warriors side in a game that could affect playoff rankings. The match is scheduled to start at 10:00 p.m. EST.
