This week, the Coast 2 Coast doubleheader kicks off in the East with a showdown between the Celtics and the 76ers, but it ends all the way on the other side of the continent, as the Nuggets head to Sacramento to face the Kings.

The Denver Nuggets were able to put together a commanding victory over the Golden State Warriors for their second NBA Cup matchup of this year, winning in a 129-104 blowout, and effectively raising them to 6-2 on the season.

Nikola Jokic is redefining efficiency. With six triple-doubles Nuggets coach David Adelman calls him the most efficient player ever.

The Golden State Warriors face the Denver Nuggets on Friday, Nov. 7, 2025 (11/7/25) in an NBA Cup in-season tournament group play matchup at Ball Arena in Denver, Colo.

In Nuggets vs. Warriors, Nikola Jokic registered a near triple-double to help his side crush the Dubs 129-104 in the NBA Cup Opener.

Included in the lineup is an Eastern Conference matchup between the Washington Wizards vs. Detroit Pistons, a battle of iconic NBA brands as the Boston Celtics face the Philadelphia 76ers, and a West Coast throwdown between the Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings .

In a 129-104 blowout, Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon slammed another highlight dunk against the Golden State Warriors, which evoked a funny response from All-Star Nikola Jokic. Almost two weeks removed from a showstopping slam against the Phoenix Suns, Gordon added a new submission for NBA's dunk of the season, thus far.

Look for offseason addition Bruce Brown to potentially get called up as the Nuggets' starting point guard for the night against Indiana, while in the frontcourt, fourth-year forward Peyton Watson could be the name elevated in place of Gordon thanks to his size, length, and defensive upside.
