The injury report played a significant role in this matchup. The Nuggets had two players listed as day-to-day: Aaron Gordon, who is dealing with a calf issue, and Trevon Brazile, whose injury details remain undisclosed. The Warriors faced a more significant setback with Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody both out due to knee injuries.
