A clash that should showcase the very best of the NBA, with two MVPs in Nikola Jokic and Stephen Curry. However, it also highlights the growing gap between the Denver Nuggets, who remain title contenders despite their struggles, and a Golden State Warriors side increasingly at risk of becoming one of the league’s worst teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuggets vs Warriors: best bet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The game looks heavily tilted in favour of Denver<\/a><\/strong>, who should have few problems overcoming a Warriors side that has declined considerably in recent years, provided they play to their potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuggets latest news: injuries and form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Denver have talent to spare, but once again they are struggling to inspire real confidence. In their last game, a win over the New Orleans Pelicans, they needed a remarkable comeback to force overtime and secure victory, despite an outstanding performance from Jamal Murray and a triple-double from Nikola Jokic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foundations are there, and Denver can never be ruled out of the title race. Even so, the supporting cast around their stars is not quite what you would expect from a team boasting a player of Jokic’s calibre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for injuries, Spencer Jones is definitely out, while Cameron Johnson remains doubtful. Regardless, Denver are the stronger side on paper and will be looking to improve their record to 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Player to watch: Jamal Murray<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After scoring 42 points against the Pelicans, Murray will be looking to maintain his impressive form in a star-studded clash with Stephen Curry. We know what he is capable of, but for the Nuggets to become genuine title contenders, he needs to produce these performances more consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
