Warriors vs. Nuggets preview

Both of these teams got off to a rocky start this regular season, with the Warriors dropping their season opener to the Lakers and the Nuggets losing their first game to the Thunder, both by double digits. You can't judge a season by how the first game goes, of course, but the need to set the tone is high for both squads, and because of these teams' shared histories of playoff excellence, both the Nuggets and the Warriors will be looking to make a statement.

For this particular game, it feels like the primary focus will be the Nuggets' defense -- which held the high-scoring Thunder to less than 100 points -- against the Warriors' offense, led as always by Steph Curry. Golden State dropped 105 points, 23 of them from Curry, in their loss to the Lakers, including some substantial contributions from the bench. They're a few players down, missing both Jimmy Butler and Kristaps Porzingis due to injury, but they know how to score. On the other side of the ball, the Nuggets have a high-scoring offense of their own, and a new emphasis on rebounding, notching 53 in their season opener compared to the Warriors' 36.

Curry remains the biggest star on the Warriors' squad, and he might do more scoring than anyone else, but don't take your eye off savvy veteran Draymond Green. He's the guy getting his hands dirty night in and out, facilitating Curry's shots, and until Porzingis and Butler are healthy again, he's the top advantage in the paint for Golden State. This should be a physical game, and the Warriors are outsized, but Green knows how to be an enforcer, and his contributions will be vital, especially against the Nuggets' All-Star center, Nikola Jokic.

Meanwhile in Denver, there wasn't as much scoring as the Nuggets would've liked in the season opener, particularly from Jokic and fellow All-Star, Jamal Murray. Aaron Gordon, who was hobbled much of last season, got off to a great start, but the team as a whole shot less than 40 percent from the field against a feisty Thunder squad. Still, Gordon clocked in with nearly 67 percent, making him an island of efficiency. He's got the size to score in the paint and the vision to shoot from the field, so if he can be consistent (and remain healthy), and Jokic and Murray can return to form, the Nuggets' offense could come alive.
