It’s been a rough week for the Denver Nuggets. After several days of rest they blew an all-time performance by Nikola Jokic in double overtime and then punted on the game the next day to suffer back to back losses. Tonight they get a chance to get back in the win column against the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors made a big trade at the deadline to acquire Jimmy Butler and that move has paid dividends with Golden State losing only five games since the deal. However, they’re on short rest after playing last night.
