The Golden State Warriors, also known as Dubs, started the new season with a formidable record. After eight games, they have only lost twice, once in the season opener against the Phoenix Suns in the Chase Center, and recently against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This places the Warriors in the third seed in the Western Conference. On the other hand, defending champions Denver Nuggets, have only lost one game and are the no 1 team in the West. Set to face each other, their showdown comes at a crucial point, as Draymond Green might be absent.

Tonight the Warriors will face the Nuggets in Ball Arena. Despite the initial hot streak for the Dubs, things might take a turn for the worst ahead of their battle with Nikola Jokic and company.

Will Draymond Green play tonight against the Nuggets?

Green’s availability for Wednesday’s matchup with the Nuggets is uncertain, as he’s dealing with personal issues. In the event that he doesn’t play, it opens up opportunities for Jonathan Kuminga, Dario Saric, and Trayce Jackson-Davis to take on more significant roles in the frontcourt.

Officially, the former defensive player is listed as questionable. This poses a lot of doubts about the Dub’s performance against the Nuggets. Throughout their winning streak, Green has been an integral part of the roster, effectively restricting the opposing teams’ offense. If Green doesn’t play, anticipate an increase in Jonathan Kuminga’s playing time in the forward positions. As for Green, his expected statistics stand at 8.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 6.1 assists.

Green’s absence actually also means more playing time for Chris Paul. CP3’s exceptional play making the 4th quarter was the reason for the Dubs’ victory against the Detroit Pistons. Even Steph?credits Cp3 for his contribution to the bench.
