The game against the Nuggets is the front end of a back-to-back for Golden State. Warriors coach Steve Kerr announced before the opening night game that Horford won't play on consecutive nights. The franchise has made him available for the Nuggets game, meaning the one-time NBA champion will miss the game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.

Al Horford made his Golden State debut in the team’s 119-109 season-opening win over the LA Lakers on Tuesday. He was the player to come off the bench in an 11-player rotation used by Kerr. Horford finished with five points, five rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes, shooting 2 of 7 from the floor, including 1 of 4 from 3-point range.

Meanwhile, Moses Moody still hasn't recovered from his calf injury, which he picked up during the preseason. After missing the final three tune-up games, the talented young guard sat out the opening night fixture against the Lakers.
