That became back-to-back defeats as they dropped their home opener to Memphis, falling 111-108 to the Grizzlies.
Golden State then fell to 0-3 on Saturday night, as they went back out on the road and lost 131-122 at Phoenix.
The Warriors rested Stephen Curry for that matchup, with Yaxel Lendeborg taking center stage as he put up 26 points, nine rebounds and five assist.

Denver go into this matchup looking to follow up on last weekend’s win over New Orleans.
The Nuggets opened the campaign on the road, suffering a 96-84 defeat to Oklahoma City as their offense failed to fire.
They put that loss behind them in their home opener, but they were made to work overtime for a 141-135 victory over New Orleans.
Jamal Murray led Denver in scoring as he racked up 42 points to go along with six assists and three rebounds.
Nikola Jokic put up 35 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in his triple double, while Trevon Brazile contributed 17 points off the bench.

Golden State are expected to have Stephen Curry back for this one, but they are still missing a bunch of talent.
Denver can take full advantage here, and we are backing them to win this game and cover the spread in the process.
