- F – Kevon Looney – #5 – UCLA - F – Andrew Wiggins – #22 – Kansas After taking time away from the Warriors due to his fight with Jordan Pool at practice, Green returned to practice on Thursday and is expected to be in the lineup on Friday against the Nuggets.

The Denver Nuggets will face their stiffest preseason competition yet in tonight's road matchup against the defending champion Golden State Warriors.

Assuming Golden State’s fully healthy, with all of their starters implemented back into the lineup, it will be hard to bet against them, even if Jokic, Murray, and Hyland do play. Friday night’s game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2 and locally on NBC Sports Bay Area for San Francisco residents. The tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. They’re still expecting steady contributions from [Bruce Brown](https://nugglove.com/2022/10/08/what-impact-will-bruce-brown-have-on-the-defensive-side-of-the-ball/), [Aaron Gordon](https://nugglove.com/2022/10/03/the-5-most-important-denver-nuggets-heading-into-the-2022-23-nba-season/), and [Michael Porter Jr.](https://nugglove.com/2022/08/07/mpj-posts-private-workout-sends-warning-to-league/) as well. Even though Golden State cruised to a near 40-point victory against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday without Curry, Thompson, Green, Wiggins, and Poole. These two teams met in the first round of the playoffs just a few short months ago, with the Golden State Warriors coming out victorious as the far superior team. Although, given that we’re just five days out from the start of the regular season, chances are the team won’t want to take any risks, specifically with Jamal Murray who’s still nursing a hamstring injury. The latest odds from FanDuel Sportsbook have Golden State as -4.5 favorites against the spread, with the team -110 (bet $110 to win $100) to cover. Or will the Warriors continue their red-hot run and advance to 4-1? While there’s reason for hope if you’re a Nuggets fan based on the team’s previous two performances, the latest odds see them as underdogs in tonight’s matchup. That said, fans have felt the tides begin to turn over their past couple of games. Only to then follow this up with another

Klay Thompson is expected to be reintegrated into the Warriors lineup, having missed the entire preseason as a precautionary measure!

Draymond Green is a pivotal member of the Warriors dynasty. It goes without saying, that Klay Thompson’s position within the Golden State Warriors’ history is well-established and solidified. However, Green wasn’t suspended for his repulsive actions. With Klay Thompson returning, the expected line-up is meant to include Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, and Kevon Looney. Klay Thompson hasn’t been an injury-prone player throughout his career. Coach Steve Kerr has stated, however, that the team will

Coach Steve Kerr said during his pregame news conference that he projected Klay Thompson would play “15 to 16” minutes in his preseason debut.

Poole, who started at shooting guard in the previous four games while Thompson sidelined, returned to his Sixth Man role and looked, well, like he normally does. And, of course, he got a couple forceful dunks. At the same time, though, JK’s athleticism and physicality give him the versatility to fill in at either forward spot. He didn’t slow down, scoring 18 points, per unofficial count of the team website, off six shots from distance. Kuminga also defended with a vengeance and awareness and was selective about shot attempts. He played 16, all in the first half.
