The Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets face off tonight in a game that will likely have heavy playoff implications in the future. However, it doesn’t come without some good and bad news. The bad news: Draymond Green is out. The good news: Steph Curry is playing.
Steph Curry has officially been listed as available against the Denver Nuggets tonight. This season, he’s been an absolute monster on the court and has easily been a top 5 player in the league. In eight games, he’s averaged: 30.9 points, 4.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds on an astounding 53/48/91 shooting. Not only is Steph Curry averaging nearly 31 points, but he’s doing it soaring above the 50/40/90 club.
When it comes to facing the Denver Nuggets specifically, Curry’s numbers drop a little bit lower. In 40 games, Curry has averaged: 24.0 points, 5.9 assists, and 4.5 rebounds.
If the Golden State Warriors defeat the Denver Nuggets tonight, then both teams would be tied with a 7-2 record. Assuming the Dallas Mavericks lose against the Toronto Raptors tonight, then the winner of this game will be the first seed in the Western Conference. In all likelihood, there’s a great chance that the Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors face off in the playoffs this year, with tonight being a great preview.
