Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors (44-22) will take on Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets (39-26) in part of the NBA Thursday slate.
Despite being without Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr., Jokic has done his best in true MVP fashion to carry this Nuggets team throughout the 2021-22 season. They’ve been relying heavily on his heroics late in games, whether it’s been taking over as a scorer or dropping dimes.
Diminished recent play from Stephen Curry has been key in the Warriors’ regression, but largely, not having Draymond Green has significantly declined their execution on defense.
Not having the two-man game with Green for Curry to engage in DHOs has been a limiting element of Green being sidelined, too. The Warriors cannot get him back in the lineup soon enough, and they will not have to wait too much longer as he is targeting Mar. 14 against the Washington Wizards to return.
