The Golden State Warriors will take on the Denver Nuggets in the opening night of the NBA Playoffs.

The first day of the NBA Playoffs will have four games on top for fans. But when it comes to the official main event, it will be later on in the night between the No. 3 Golden State Warriors and No. 6 Denver Nuggets.

Golden State will be getting reinforcements for Game 1, as Stephen Curry will be making his return for the first time after being sidelined since March 16 with a left foot strain. Prior to the injury, Curry had been averaging 25.5 points through 64 games while shooting 43.7-percent from the field and 38.0-percent from the three-point line.

While Curry is back, the Warriors will have to contend with a Nuggets team led by NBA MVP candidate Nikola Jokic. The center posted an average of 27.1 points and 13.8 rebounds in 74 games. But can Jokic help the Nuggets eliminate the Warriors from the first round?

Here is how you can watch Game 1 of the first-round series between Golden State and Denver.
