Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets 17.04.2022
3rd seed Golden State Warriors will be looking to draw first blood when they welcome the 6th seed Denver Nuggets to Chase Cente this weekend for Game 1 of their best-of-seven 1st round series. Warriors star Steph Curry participated in practices this week and will be expected to make his return from a lower leg bruise that kept him out of their last 15 regular-season games
Denver did well to avoid dropping into the play-in by finishing 6th in the West. With that 6th seed secured, they rested all their big guns for the last regular-season game which they lost to the Lakers in overtime.
Key to their success this season has been the play of the reigning league MVP Nikola Jokic who led the team in just about all the traditional and advanced metrics. He became the first player in NBA history to finish with 2000 points, 1000 rebounds and 500 assists in a season. We expect him to elevate his teammates once again and with the Warriors defence likely to key in on him, expect him to dish out quite a few dimes off of the double teams.
