After shaking off some rust in a close defeat of the Trail Blazers on Sunday, the Denver Nuggets now face off against the Golden State Warriors in what will be the biggest game of the season. This will be a huge battle of the two best with arguably the best two teams in the West, with the winner tonight taking sole possession of first place in the conference.
The Warriors need no introduction, but it’s always a good reminder that the Nuggets have had their number as of late. Denver won the first meeting between the two in October in a close 100-98 game sealed by a clutch Juancho Hernangomez block, and have had big wins over Golden State in each of the last two seasons.
