The Denver Nuggets face the Golden State Warriors in a regular season NBA game on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025 (10/23/25) at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif.

The Warriors faced the league’s most storied franchise on Tuesday, and arguably the NBA’s most dominant offensive force on Thursday. So much for an easy star

BOTTOM LINE: Denver faces Golden State in Western Conference action Thursday. Golden State finished 48-34 overall and 29-23 in Western Conference action a season ago. The Warriors averaged 19.7 points off of turnovers, 15.6 second-chance points and 43.6 bench points last season.

The good news for the Warriors is that they will have Al Horford available for Thursday’s game as ESPN’s Anthony Slater reported that the veteran center will play against the Nuggets but will likely sit out Friday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers in the second night of a back-to-back.

Colin Cowherd recently urged the Golden State Warriors to trade Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga to the Milwaukee Bucks for a superstar forward.

Golden State Warriors star Jonathan Kuminga has found himself in better standing with his team despite some bumps in the road.
