Match Preview: Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets
The Golden State Warriors will face the Denver Nuggets on 18th April 2022, in what will be the 2nd game of their ongoing 1st round series of the playoffs in the Western Conference.
Warriors came away with a comfortable win in the 1st game of the series, as they would look to win again and go 2-0 up in this ongoing series against the Nuggets.
The Nuggets, on the other hand, will find it tough to contain the Warriors as they are still missing Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr., and without them, their task is very difficult.
Warriors:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| James Wiseman | C | Sat, Mar 26 | Knee | Out for the season |
Nuggets:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Michael Porter Jr. | SF | Sun, Apr 17 | Back | Expected to be out until at least May 10 |
| Jamal Murray | PG | Sat, Apr 9 | Knee | Expected to be out until at least Jul 1 |
Klay will be under the pressure to perform throughout the playoffs, and he himself will be locked in to show the world that he still is an elite performer, despite missing two years due to injuries.
The reigning MVP and the current favorite to win this year’s MVP Nikola Jokic will be the man to go to for the Nuggets throughout the series, as he will be dominating the Warriors team that lacks size.
The Warriors will once again be the favorites to win this game, as they are playing at home against an injury-depleted Denver Nuggets team.
