Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets face-off with Jimmy Butler and the Golden State Warriors on Monday.
Heading into this colossal Western Conference showdown there are very few teams playing as well as the Golden State Warriors (39-28). They have won seven in a row, nine of the last 10 and are 14-1 with Jimmy Butler in the lineup. Butler has opened up the Golden State offense while adding another firecracker to the defense. Since Butler joined the team Stephen Curry is second in the NBA with 29.9 points per game. That will all be tested on Monday against three-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets (43-25) who have been up-and-down over the last 10 games.

This is just the second game of the season between the teams, with the first coming way back in early December. Denver won that game 119-115 in a thriller with Jokic going off for 38 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. This is the second of three games between the Western Conference contenders in the regular season.
Denver is coming off a loss and is tied for second place in the Western Conference standings. They are in the mix along with five other teams to become the second seed and avoid the Oklahoma City Thunder for the first two rounds.
Golden State is in sixth place, just 3.5 games out of second place and tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Every win matters down the stretch of the regular season, especially against playoff caliber teams for both Denver and Golden State to make the top six and earn tiebreakers come playoff time.
