Tonight’s Nuggets/Warriors matchup will be the closest thing we’ll get to a Game 7 during the regular season. Record-wise, the teams are tied at 47-31 and the winner will gain a full game advantage on that coveted eighth playoff spot in the West. After tonight, each team will have just three games left to play, so a win is crucial for both teams.
Moreover, the game is at ORACLE Arena, which always boasts an energized crowd. Remember that Dallas series in the playoffs last season? Expect that kind of energy from the Golden State faithful.
Lastly, these are the two highest scoring teams in the league, so it should be an up-and-down affair for the full 48 minutes.
Since it’s at home, the Warriors have the edge, but the Nuggets have played better ball of late so it should be a tight game.
It’s on TNT tonight at 8 PM ET.
