After knocking off Luka Doncic and the Lakers in their season-opener Tuesday night, Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors (1-0) host Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets (0-0) tonight at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
Its a battle between featuring all-time greats Curry (two-time MVP, four-time NBA champion) and Jokić (three-time MVP, 2023 NBA champion) looking to make perhaps a final run at an NBA Title.
The Warriors took their first step towards said potential title Tuesday night. Jimmy Butler led the way in the win over the Lakers with 31 points. The veteran went 16/16 from the foul line. Curry added 23 and Jonathan Kuminga chipped in 17 and pulled down nine boards.
Jokic and co. begin their journey tonight. He is still the centerpiece of the Nuggets, but the former MVP has some new running mates. With an eye on bolstering their depth, Denver traded Michael Porter Jr. for Cameron Johnson and added veterans Jonas Valančiūnas and Bruce Brown.
