Nikola Jokic made his preseason debut tonight and looked pretty darn good, but ultimately the Nuggets were edged out by the Warriors by a score of 118-114. Jokic finished with a 17 point, 10 rebound double-double and was joined in double scoring figures by Aaron Gordon, PJ Dozier and the J. Greens. Jordan Poole led the scoring for Golden State with 17 points of his own.
Both Michael Porter Jr and Will Barton sat out to nurse their respective injuries, so Denver went with a three guard starting lineup of Monte Morris, PJ Dozier and Austin Rivers plus Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic.
