After spending seven consecutive games in the Bay Area, the Golden State Warriors begin a two-game road swing with a stop in Denver on Thursday night. Along with providing a test against a proven Western Conference playoff contender, Golden State’s tilt with the Nuggets will give rookie James Wiseman the opportunity to match up against one of the top bigs in the NBA.
The 2020 No. 2 overall draft pick will likely link up with two-time All-Star Nikola Jokic throughout the contest. During Golden State’s recent homestand, Wiseman averaged 9.6 points on 48.4% shooting from the field with 6.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in seven consecutive starts.
Adding to the battle of the bigs, the Warriors and Nuggets point guard clash could provide fireworks. After scoring under 30 points in back-to-back games for the first time in January, Steph Curry will have the chance to get back on track in a star-studded matchup against Jamal Murray.
