With four games left on the regular season schedule, each game carries significant weight for the Golden State Warriors during the final stretch run of the 2022-23 campaign.
After recording a pair of consecutive wins at home, the Warriors will head out on the road on Sunday for a meeting with reigning Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.
While the Warriors are gripping to the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference Playoff race, the 51-26 Nuggets sit at the top of the playoff picture with the No. 1 seed in the West.
Despite holding the top seed, the Nuggets are coming off back-to-back losses. In their recent loss to Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns on Friday night, the Nuggets were shorthanded without Jokic, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. due to injury.
Before the Warriors travel to Denver, here’s everything you need to know for Sunday’s contest, including how to watch.
