The Warriors return to Chase Center on Sunday looking to steady the ship, but they'll have to do it without their biggest stars yet again. Steph Curry remains sidelined with lingering knee swelling, joining Jimmy Butler on the bench as Golden State fights to stay afloat in a crowded Western Conference playoff race. Sitting in 8th place, the Dubs can't afford many slip-ups if they want to climb out of the Play-In picture, yet the challenge only gets tougher against a strong Denver squad.
There is a silver lining for Bay Area fans. New addition Kristaps Porzingis showed flashes in his debut against Boston on Thursday, scoring 12 points in just 17 minutes, and now draws a marquee matchup with Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets enter at 35-21 and firmly in 4th place, with Jokic putting together another MVP-caliber season while averaging a triple-double. With Golden State short-handed and Denver rolling, Sunday's showdown will test the Warriors' depth, resilience, and ability to protect home court.
This afternoon's game tips off at 12:30 p.m. PST, and Warriors fans across the country can watch it with Sling TV.
