Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors preview

The Warriors are on a seven-game winning streak, firing on all cylinders as Jimmy Butler continues his excellent start in the Bay Area.

They are 14-1 when Butler and Steph Curry share the court and have steadily made their way down the top half of the standings to their current sixth position. They are two games behind the fifth-seed LA Lakers and four behind the second, third and fourth seeds. Their most recent triumph came against the New York Knicks, where they recorded a 97-94 win on Sunday, days after they beat the Sacramento Kings 130-104 at home. Once again, the Dubs have been tipped as firm favorites for this game, primarily due to Denver's consistency issues.

Michael Malone’s team suffered a shocking 126-123 defeat at the hands of the lowly Washington Wizards on Saturday. They have struggled to find consistent form as of late, losing 5-5 in the last ten games, but the team’s individual talent is undeniable.

Nikola Jokic, having another incredible season, did everything he could on both ends of the floor on Saturday, scoring 40 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists, but the Nuggets ultimately fell short. Fortunately, they are still sitting in the third spot in the competitive West, but if their form continues to decline as it has been, they could find themselves battling to remain in the playoff race.
