How to Watch Warriors vs. Nuggets
The Golden State Warriors kick off NBA Cup play with a Friday night game against the Denver Nuggets. Tip-off is set for 7:00 PM PT in Denver and will be available on Prime Video.
Recent Performance and Injury Updates
Golden State lost their last game on Wednesday to the Sacramento Kings, 121–116. Both teams were missing key players: the Warriors without Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green; the Kings without Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis. Despite this, Warriors' young talents Moses Moody and rookie Will Richard combined for 58 points.
“Sacramento’s veteran depth ultimately sealed the win, led by Russell Westbrook’s 23-point, 16-rebound, 10-assist triple-double.”
For the upcoming match, Curry remains sidelined due to illness. Green is expected to return, but Butler, Moody, and Al Horford are questionable.
Coach’s Focus on Team Discipline
After the loss, coach Steve Kerr stressed the need to reduce careless turnovers. The Warriors gave up 30 points off 19 turnovers against the Kings and rank fourth in the league with an average of 17.2 turnovers per game.
With Kerr’s warning in mind, Golden State is expected to prioritize ball control in their game against Denver.
