Coming into this game off of a disappointing 114-118 loss to the Washington Wizards, the Warriors will be looking to get back to winning ways at home. After missing out on some of their star players throughout the season, the team is sure to play Steph Curry as they take on the Nuggets tonight.

Steph Curry's influence in the Golden State Warriors camp became amply evident as the side struggled on without him during his short injury stint earlier in the season. The tailbone injury, which came during a game against the Houston Rockets, benched Curry for a couple of days during which the team lost multiple games in a row. However, since making his return, the 33-year-old has gone on a tear, earning some crucial points for his team. While Curry is keeping his team afloat, he is also averaging a scary 39 points per game - the most he has in his entire career.
