San Antonio Spurs @ Denver Nuggets Preview

The Denver Nuggets (47-29) are looking to bounce back after a heartbreaking 140-139 double-overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite Nikola Jokic's career-high 61-point triple-double, the Nuggets fell short. Denver remains one of the league's top offenses, averaging 121.1 points per game, but their defense has struggled, allowing 117.0 points per game.

The San Antonio Spurs (31-44) are on a five-game losing streak, most recently falling 116-105 to the Orlando Magic. Without Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox, the Spurs have struggled offensively, relying heavily on Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, and Harrison Barnes. Turnovers have been a significant issue, with 17 committed in their last game.

Denver's short rest could be a factor, but their home-court advantage and superior firepower make them the favorites. The Spurs will need a near-flawless performance to pull off an upset.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last 10 meetings, the Denver Nuggets have won six games against the San Antonio Spurs. The most recent matchup saw the Nuggets secure a 122-111 overtime victory at Frost Bank Center.

Pick: Denver Nuggets -8.5

widget-odds-nba-ats-5163-SA-DEN

The Denver Nuggets are the clear favorites in this matchup, and the -8.5 spread offers value. Despite their recent loss, Denver's offensive firepower, led by Nikola Jokic, should overwhelm a depleted Spurs team. The Spurs' turnover issues and lack of key players make it unlikely they can keep this game close. Back the Nuggets to cover the spread.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Nikola Jokic Over 29.5 Points

Jokic is coming off a career-high 61-point performance and has been the focal point of Denver's offense. With the Spurs' defensive struggles, expect Jokic to continue his scoring dominance.

2. Stephon Castle Over 24.5 Points + Assists

widget-props-nba-5163-2288395

Castle has been stepping up in the absence of Wembanyama and Fox, averaging 19.5 points and 4.8 assists this month. Against a short-rested Nuggets team, he should have opportunities to exceed this line.

3. Devin Vassell Under 18.5 Points

Vassell has struggled with his shooting recently, averaging just 12.3 points over his last three games. Denver's defense could keep him in check, making the under a strong play.
