Warriors Beat Nuggets; Memphis Stays Unbeaten
Golden State earned its first win of the season by beating Denver 134-114, led by rookie Yaxel Lendeborg’s 31 points and 12 rebounds; Stephen Curry added 24, and Denver allowed 74 second-half points. Memphis stayed unbeaten with a 110-105 win at Utah, where Cedric Coward had 16 points and 11 rebounds; Utah rallied late while missing Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. Denver next faces New Orleans, which is trying to end a three-game losing streak after losing its first meeting with the Nuggets in overtime. Elsewhere, the Lakers host Portland after Luka Doncic scored 52 points, and the Knicks look to snap a five-game losing streak against Detroit. CJ McCollum scored 20 points on 50% shooting in Atlanta’s loss to Houston, while Boston’s 20-year-old González scored 13 points and was not considered a strong option for most redraft fantasy leagues.
