Kerr, while he doesn’t have a vote, says Nikola Jokic should win MVP again this season.
“He was spectacular tonight. Makes all of his teammates better, he makes defense so difficult and he’s playing the game at such an easy pace.” – 12:05 AM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
I asked Steve Kerr if he thinks having Draymond back will fix all of the Warriors’ problems. “No,” he said quickly.
“There’s a lot of work ahead to return to the kind of team we were for most of the season that we’ve gotten away from the last couple weeks.” – 12:00 AM
Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
Steve Kerr said Jokic should probably win the MVP again. – 11:54 PM
Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
“I havent listened to Draymond’s podcast yet,” Kerr smiled. Said he needs to talk to team doctors before confirming March 14 but noted how much they want Dray back. – 11:54 PM
Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
After going winless on the roadtrip, and losing nine of 11, Kerr said his players have to “go through the fire to build the armor.” Said it’s no fun going through it, but he was pleased with how his shorthanded squad competed and gave themselves a chance to win. – 11:50 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Warriors fall to the Nuggets 131-124 despite an incredible effort from the reserves.
32 points for Jordan Poole in the loss, 30 points for Moses Moody.
Golden State’s season-worst losing streak extends to 5 games. – 11:36 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Nice night for the younger Warriors. Moses Moody scores 30 points. Jordan Poole hits eight 3s. Sixteen for Kuminga. They stuck in it against the Nuggets, but ultimately lost. That’s an 0-4 road trip, a 2-9 record in the last 11. Sitting at #3 seed, only three up on Dallas at #5. – 11:35 PM

Moses Moody tonight:

Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
Damn, Moses Moody is showing out tonight. – 11:12 PM
Micah Adams @MicahAdams13
Power rankings the active coaches with a prayer at catching Gregg Popovich:
1. Erik Spoelstra
2. Ty Lue
3. Taylor Jenkins
Kerr got a sneaky late start and doesn’t strike me as the lifer coach. Could see him easily moving back into front offices or TV. – 11:06 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Moses Moody just scored 22 points in the first half in Denver, punctuating a breakout road trip for the rookie. Here are the highlights. pic.twitter.com/6PHC8N9kRL – 10:17 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
With just nine players available — including two G League players — and led by two rookies, the Warriors trail the Nuggets by just two at the half.
Moses Moody with a career high 22, Jonathan Kuminga with 12. Jordan Poole adds 11. – 10:14 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Nuggets lead by two at the break but give up 69 points to the Steph/Klay/Draymond-less Warriors. Golden State went 11-21 from 3. Moses Moody hit five triples. Jordan Poole hit three. I’m betting Davon Reed plays a lot more than 10 minutes in the 2nd half. – 10:13 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Moses Moody is almost single-handedly keeping the Warriors in this game. And it’s incredible to watch. – 10:01 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Moses Moody has already tied his career high 20 points and there is still 6:34 left in the first half. He previously set it in February at San Antonio — again, that game that made Michael Malone say this game “scares the hell” out of him, despite no Steph, Klay Wiggins. – 10:00 PM
Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
A classic Davon Reed – Moses Moody battle. – 9:50 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Warriors trail the Nuggets 40-31 at the end of the first quarter. Moses Moody set a new career-high for points in a quarter with 15. His previous high was 13, set last Thursday in Dallas. – 9:43 PM
Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Moses Moody is taking full advantage of tonight’s opportunity with 15 first-quarter points. – 9:36 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Ahead of tonight’s game, Nuggets coach Michael Malone brought up the last time the Warriors were without all their stars, they hit 20 3-pointers vs. the Spurs. So far, they are 4-of-5 from deep. Moses Moody is 3-for-3. – 9:20 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Moses Moody: 25-of-45 from 3 his last 14 games. Surging into the regular rotation. Three quick ones in Denver tonight. – 9:19 PM
Vinny Benedetto @VBenedetto
Moses Moody has hit his first three 3s. Warriors up 11-9 early. – 9:16 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
So Moses Moody is 3-4 from the field and 3-3 from deep to start. He has 9 points already. Warriors lead Denver 11-8 with 8:26 left in the first quarter. – 9:16 PM
Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
Steve Kerr: There’s no target date for Draymond’s return.
Draymond Green: LOL check out my podcast. – 8:57 PM
Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Steve Kerr gave an update on Draymond Green.
“We don’t have a set date, but I got a report today that he got another rehab session in on the court… He’s feeling a lot better and coming along, but still no target date.” – 7:46 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Been a bit of a veiled back-and-forth between Malone/Kerr the last couple days about tonight’s rescheduled game. Warriors upset about circumstances of original postponement. Nuggets noted they also had a back-to-back added.

Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Warriors coach Steve Kerr provides the semi-daily updates on Draymond Green and James Wiseman: working out in the Bay Area, doing well, looking good, feeling fine, no projected return date – 7:41 PM
Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
This rescheduled game forces the Nuggets to play 4 games in 5 days with two back-to-backs. The Warriors have 3 games in 4 days including this back-to-back and two flights to Denver. Kerr said, “It puts us in a way tougher spot than them, we had to fly here again.” – 7:38 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Kerr says he’s “confident” that Draymond will return soon, but says there is still no circled date. @Adrian Wojnarowski reported yesterday that he could be back in 7 to 10 days. – 7:38 PM
