What you need to know about the Warriors

Golden State was able to pick up a huge win over Phoenix on Christmas Day, winning 116-107. Star point guard Stephen Curry led the way with 33 points and six assists. Curry will need an even bigger performance on Tuesday, as defensive standout Draymond Green joined Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, Damion Lee and Moses Moody in the NBA's health and safety protocols. 

The Warriors have already been without Andre Iguodala (knee), Klay Thompson (Achilles) and James Wiseman (knee). They need another strong performance from Otto Porter Jr., who scored 19 points in the win over Phoenix. Golden State passed Phoenix for the best record in the NBA with the win on Christmas Day. 

What you need to know about the Nuggets

Denver is coming off a 103-100 road win against the Clippers on Sunday. It was another big night for star center Nikola Jokic, who nearly recorded a triple-double with 26 points, 22 rebounds and eight assists. Jokic has only averaged 15.2 points in 20 head-to-head meetings with Golden State, but he will be thankful to not be facing Green on Tuesday. 

He shot just 1-for-8 from the 3-point arc in a pair of games against the Warriors last season. The Nuggets are still without Aaron Gordon (hamstring), Jamal Murray (knee) and Michael Porter Jr. (back). Jokic has been huge, though, becoming the first player to have back-to-back, 20-point and 20-rebound games since Andre Drummond in January 2020.
