Moses Moody Leads Warriors Past Nuggets as Kerr Calls Him Team’s Most Consistent

Golden State is leaning on his two-way growth with stars sidelined.

Overview

  • The Warriors beat the Nuggets 128-117 at Chase Center, where Moses Moody posted 23 points, seven rebounds and five assists.
  • Steve Kerr said Moody has been the Warriors’ most consistent performer over the past six weeks and praised his top-tier pick-and-roll defense.
  • Over his last five games, Moody is averaging 18.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists on 50.8% shooting from the field and 39.0% from three in 32.0 minutes.
  • Moody is in his best NBA season with career highs in scoring (11.7 ppg) and three-point accuracy (40.2%) and has reached double figures in 16 of his last 17 games.
  • Moody said his role remains unchanged after asking Kerr about Stephen Curry’s absence, as injuries that include Curry being out and Jimmy Butler lost for the season have the 30-27 Warriors counting on his steadiness.
