Injury Report: Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets /

The Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets are two of the best teams in the Western Conference. Whenever these two teams face off, there are always fireworks, especially when Steph Curry and Nikola Jokic both play.

The Warriors only have two players listed on their injury report - Draymond Green and Gary Payton II. Green is listed as out due to personal reasons, and Gary Payton II is questionable due to an illness. Even if the Warriors are missing Draymond Green, they still have Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Chris Paul all available.

The Denver Nuggets have three players listed on their injury report: Vlatko Cancar, Nikola Jokic, and Jamal Murray. Vlatko Cancar is out due to left knee surgery, Nikola Jokic is probable with right wrist inflammation, and Jamal Murray is out due to a right hamstring strain. While the Nuggets will be missing Jamal Murray, they'll always stand a fighting chance if they have Nikola Jokic and the rest of their starters.

The Golden State Warriors currently have a 6-2 record and the Denver Nuggets have a 7-1 record, with both teams vying for the top 3 spots in the Western Conference. Last season, the Denver Nuggets swept the Warriors 3-0, and the Nuggets won 3 out of 4 games the season before. This season, the Warriors are looking to change their losing ways against the Denver Nuggets.

The Warriors and Nuggets face off tonight at 10:00 p.m. EST.
