The Nuggets have lost four of six since Nikola Jokic's return and this meeting with the Warriors comes at the end of a three-game stretch on the road, which has taken them up and down the west coast but, post-NBA All-Star break, it's hard to shake the sense that at long last, their season is about to catch light.

You can watch Nuggets vs Warriors live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

It's been tough going for Denver without Aaron Gordon, Spencer Jones and Peyton Watson, but whether they're fit and firing again or not, Jokic is certainly beginning to resemble his regular all-conquering self again. He was half-a-yard slow and his range was slightly off on the other side of his least favorite part of the year, but Chase Center will be bracing itself for the real deal this Sunday.

They've just about managed to cling onto the No.3 spot in the Western Conference standings through this extended rough stretch, but they're 15.8 points per 100 possessions better with the Joker on the floor, and with the toughest remaining schedule in the NBA just around the corner, it's show time. What's more, Jamal Murray is on fire, and chasing down that franchise assists record.

Stephen Curry is still sidelined for the Warriors, who defeated the Nuggets in OT in their season opener, only to get destroyed a fortnight later. And with the shape they're in, the best they can realistically hope for come the end of the campaign is a spot in the Play-In. They've lost five of their last seven and serious ground to the Suns in the Western Conference pecking order, but Steve Kerr has had two whole days to prepare his men for this Denver clash.
