The Denver Nuggets announced their 2016-17 preseason schedule Tuesday, which is highlighted by a game abroad and a matchup at home against the Golden State Warriors at Pepsi Center.
The Nuggets typically play a home game at the University of Colorado in Boulder at the Coors Events Center, but this year will be a bit different, as the Nuggets will take their talents up north to Canada to face off against the Toronto Raptors as part of the NBA’s fifth annual Canada Series.

After Jamal Murray’s return to Canada, they head to Los Angeles for a two-game series against the Kobe-less Lakers. They will also face off against the Timberwolves and then head back to the Pepsi Center to welcome Steph Curry and Durant, as they match up against the 73-9 Warriors, who they managed to steal a win from last year.
The Nuggets then make a trip to Portland to play the Trailblazers before they conclude preseason vs. the Dallas Mavericks.
