  • Nikola Jokic – Nuggets

The MVP of the league needs to step up and deliver big, as this game is being played at his home court, and he would like to lead his team to a win.

  • Stephen Curry – Warriors

In the last match, Steph showed everyone that he can get hot pretty quickly. He will be once again expected to have a big game, as he tends to improve following his ankle injury.

Match Prediction & Telecast Details:

The Golden State Warriors will once again be the favorites to win this game, as they have a healthy squad than the Nuggets, and Nikola Jokic alone can’t handle them.

Prediction:

  • Golden State Warriors to win the game.
