As the 2023-24 NBA season progresses into the new year, fans are looking forward to a big game between the Denver Nuggets and the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, January 4 at Chase Center in San Francisco, California. The Nuggets are in third place in the West with a good 24-11 record. The Warriors, on the other hand, are struggling at number 11. So this game should be very exciting to watch. However, the burning question that resonates among fans is the availability of star players Stephen Curry and Nikola Jokic for tonight’s game.

Nuggets vs Warriors injury report

In the latest NBA injury report, it’s good for Golden State Warriors fans. Stephen Curry is available for the game against the Nuggets without injury. This season, Curry has only missed two games and his addition to the Warriors team makes it stronger. On the other hand, Nikola Jokic from the Denver Nuggets is also going to be part of it. The Serbian star never misses a game. Out of 35 games played so far, only one was missed.

For the Nuggets, Reggie Jackson is listed as probable for the clash against the Warriors, nursing a calf concern. But, Vlatko Cancar is listed out, as he had an operation on his left knee. This is a problem for the Nuggets’ lineup changes. The Warriors, grappling with their share of challenges, will be without the services of Draymond Green due to league suspension. Gary Payton II is also going to miss some weeks because of a hamstring injury he got against the Magic. This makes deciding who plays more difficult for Coach Steve Kerr.

Predicted starting line-up for the Nuggets against the Warriors

As people get excited about the game between Nuggets and Warriors, who plays first is important for deciding who wins. For the starting line-up, Nuggets coach Mike Malone will probably employ the services of Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokić. At the same time, Steve Kerr’s Warriors are likely to have a team including strong players like Stephen Curry, Chris Paul, Jonathan Kuminga, Klay Thompson, and Trayce Jackson-Davis.
