Both teams are highly motivated for this game. The Warriors are being chased closely in the standings, while the Nuggets are tied with the Grizzlies and Lakers—losing would set them back. Denver’s defensive efficiency has dropped to 22nd in the league this season, with the departure of KCP weakening their perimeter defense, making it harder to contain elite scorers. Curry is likely to have a big night, and the Nuggets’ deep roster ensures they can keep up offensively. Expect a high-scoring battle.
