Denver Nuggets vs. Golden State Warriors: Preview, Where to Watch and Betting Odds

The Denver Nuggets (10-8) return home to the Ball Arena, where they host the reeling Golden State Warriors (12-7) Wednesday morning in an NBA Cup game. The Golden State Warriors have lost their last two on the road and four consecutively and are rightly desperate to bag a win. Denver lost to the Los Angeles Clippers last time, failing to win on the road for the first time in four games. The hosts are 2-2 from their last four games and are favorites against a Warriors side that has had its title contender status being queried by fans.

The Denver Nuggets have lost five of their last eight matches and sit 9th in the Western Conference standings. On the road, against the Clippers, Denver gave up a 10-point lead in the third quarter and succumbed to a 126-122 loss. Coach Michael Malone’s side has found some consistency at the Ball Arena, where the Nuggets have won five of their last seven. The Denver Nuggets have won the last eight meetings with the Golden State Warriors.

No matter what they do, the Golden State Warriors can’t seem to get out of the rut. Steve Kerr’s side have lost four straight games and continue to slide down the rankings. Stephen Curry returned against the Phoenix Suns last Saturday, but his 23 points failed to dim the Suns' shine as the Warriors fell to a 113-105 defeat. In their poor run, the Golden State Warriors have lost to the San Antonio Spurs, Brooklyn Nets, Oklahoma Thunder, and the Suns. The Warriors have failed to defeat the Denver Nuggets since April 2022.
