What NBA games are on today, Sunday, April 24?
There’s plenty of NBA playoff action to cap off your weekend, with some teams fighting to stay in the game. Here are the matchups that you can choose from.
It’s Game 4 for all the teams competing today in the opening round of the NBA playoff series.
Golden State Warriors vs. Denver Nuggets
It’s do or die for the Denver Nuggets, as they try to fight off a sweep on their home court. They currently stand at 0-3 against the Golden State Warriors.
The Nuggets will have to up their offense to keep up with the high-scoring Warriors, and limit the trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole who shot for 80 points combined in Game 3.

Nikola Jokic delivered an impressive 37 points,18 rebounds, and five assists, but other Denver key players should step up and deliver those numbers as well.
If anything, this beatdown only confirms how good Nikola Jokic is to get these Nuggets to 48 wins. That being said, Jokic has to handle playoff adversity better. Denver feeds off him. He’s let his emotions get the best of him the past two postseasons. This is supposed to be hard.
