Nuggets Host Warriors on the Night of October 26: Denver Seeks a Home Win Streak as Winless Warriors Hunt First Victory
The Denver Nuggets will host the Golden State Warriors at home on the night of Monday, October 26, with the game set for 10 p.m. Eastern at Ball Arena in Denver. By the odds and records published before the game, the Nuggets are 1-1 and are 7.5-point favorites in this matchup, while the Warriors are 0-3 and are 7.5-point underdogs; the total is set at 234.5 points, and the Nuggets' predicted win probability is about 71.2%. In Saturday's game, the Nuggets trailed by as many as 23 points before coming back to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 141-135 in overtime, with Jamal Murray scoring 42 points and Nikola Jokić contributing a triple-double of 35 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists; the comeback also spared the Nuggets a Monday-night meeting between two winless teams. The Warriors, for their part, have lost three straight to open the season, averaging 111.7 points per game on 42.5% shooting while allowing a high 123 points per game, with Stephen Curry averaging 23.5 points; the team's defensive problems are the main cause of its slow start. Reuters' pregame report noted that the Warriors' Johnson and Diallo are both listed as questionable for Monday's game, while the Nuggets hope to carry forward the momentum of Saturday's comeback. For Denver fans, Monday night's home game is a key test of whether the team can string together wins at home; the result is subject to the official postgame report.
