Injury Report: Nikola Jokic is Probable For Nuggets vs Warriors (Sports Illustrated)

The Golden State Warriors are facing the Denver Nuggets in a matchup that could be a potential Western Conference Finals matchup.

The Nuggets are coming off of a very disappointing loss against the Utah Jazz, where they were defeated by more than 20 points throughout the entire game. It may even help them in the short run in this game, but not in the long run, if Murray isn't available but Jokic is. Collin Gillespie is additionally listed as out with a right lower leg fracture.

Nuggets vs Warriors Picks and Predictions: Denver Keeps It Close ... (Covers.com)

NBA odds, picks, and predictions for the Denver Nuggets at Golden State Warriors on October 21. NBA betting best bet and free pick analysis.

Those unfamiliar with last season’s numbers might be surprised to learn that neither Denver nor Golden State was among the top-scoring teams in the league despite their star power. These additional weapons should provide the Nuggets with far better floor balance and take some of the pressure off of Jokic, making Friday’s game an even tougher matchup for Golden State. Aaron Gordon (15.0 ppg) and Will Barton (14.7) were the main scoring contributors outside of Jokic. It’s difficult to handicap the total, as these two teams have combined for some very different games over the past year. The teams split two games in Denver later in the season, with the Nuggets winning by seven three days before the Warriors finally notched a nine-point win. But the regular season matchup between these teams has favored the Nuggets in general, and while I’m not confident in them leaving San Francisco with a win, I think they’ll be in this game until the end regardless of who gets the victory. [Nikola Jokic](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/1850/nikola-jokic)’s impact on its way to a 4-1 series win over Denver. Denver escaped with two close wins in San Francisco, winning by one point and then three points in those two meetings. That’s in part a show of the defending champion’s impressive depth, which should allow them to rest stars and survive injuries throughout the regular season, but it was also due to minutes limits on both Still, there’s plenty of reason for optimism about the Nuggets season, especially as Murray and Porter continue to work their way back into game shape after a year off. That’s a solid strategy, but it will put the Warriors at a disadvantage against their most talented opponents. Murray and Porter are now back in action, which should make the Nuggets a far more formidable opponent this year.

Nuggets Game Tonight: Nuggets vs. Warriors Odds, Starting Lineup ... (Nugg Love)

The Denver Nuggets look to exact revenge in the Bay Area later tonight, unfortunately, the latest odds aren't too optimistic about the team's chances.

This game’s a tough one to predict, but I suspect Denver will come out hot and try to establish themselves early after Wednesday’s brutal loss. While Brown and KCP can focus on trying to slow down the elite shooting of Curry, Thompson, and Poole. It’s easy to see why Golden State is considered the favorite in this one, outside of the fact that they’re at home. Not to mention all of the offseason acquisitions like The Warriors are -198 on the moneyline, while the Nuggets check in at +166 (bet $100 to win $166). At this point, I would expect Jokic to play his usual minutes but Murray could sit this one out with it being just the first in a back-to-back series. [Michael Malone](https://nugglove.com/2022/10/17/denver-nuggets-how-can-michael-malone-win-coach-of-the-year/) has been rolling with. F – Michael Porter Jr. Can the Nuggets slow down the Splash Bros (and Splash Nephew, Jordan Poole) and even out to 1-1 on the season? With the entire team playing with a perceived chip on their shoulders, Unlike the Denver Nuggets, the Utah Jazz entered Wednesday’s season opener with few expectations. We could be in for an early-season barnburner in Northern California.
