Preview: Warriors at Nuggets

DENVER (Interstat) — The surging Denver Nuggets will host the struggling Golden State Warriors in a late-season NBA matchup on Sunday, March 29, 2026, at Ball Arena.

The Nuggets (46-27) enter on a four-game winning streak and have won eight of their last 10, most recently outlasting the Dallas Mavericks 142-135 on Wednesday. Denver sits comfortably in the upper tier of the Western Conference.

Conversely, the Warriors (35-38) are fighting to stay in the play-in picture, having lost eight of their last 11. They snapped a six-game skid with a 109-106 home win over Brooklyn on Wednesday but face a daunting task on the road.

A key matchup will feature Denver guard Jamal Murray against Golden State forward Gui Santos. Murray is coming off a spectacular 53-point performance against Dallas and has averaged 30.2 points over his last five games, spearheading the Nuggets’ offensive charge.

Santos has been a bright spot for Golden State during its difficult stretch, averaging 17.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists over his last 10 contests. He scored a career-high 31 points in the win over Brooklyn.

The season series is tied 1-1. The Warriors won the most recent meeting 128-117 in San Francisco on Feb. 22, but the Nuggets dominated the first matchup in Denver 129-104 on Nov. 7.

Denver’s offense, which has scored at least 121 points in seven consecutive games, will test a Golden State defense that has allowed an average of 122.3 points over its last 10 outings. The Nuggets also boast the reigning MVP in center Nikola Jokic, who recorded a 23-point, 21-rebound, 19-assist triple-double in Wednesday’s win.

The Warriors will continue a five-game road trip, while the Nuggets play the second of a three-game homestand. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. MDT.
