Game Preview
This is the moment when Spurs need to show whether they have matured and evolved enough. The upcoming month will show if San Antonio has the quality to attack the postseason.
Wemby and the guys are coming off a win. It was over the LA Clippers, whom they humiliated 122-86. Wembanyama had 27 points, nine boards, five assists, and three rejections, becoming the first player in NBA history with 300 points, 100 boards, 50 blocks and assists, and 40 threes in one month.
On the other hand, Nikola Jokic writes his own history. The Joker already has 14 triple-doubles this year, league-leading, and 144 overall. It seems that he and the all-time triple-double leader, Russell Westbrook, clicked superbly. They even both posted triple-doubles against the Jazzers.
Denver smashed the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night, 139-120. It was the fourth time in a row that they’ve scored 135 points.
Spurs vs. Nuggets Head to Head
This is the first game between the two units in this campaign.
Spurs vs. Nuggets Prediction
With all due respect to Wembanyama and Chris Paul, the Spurs have very slim chances of beating the Nuggets at the Mile High. Denver can be very ruthless in Colorado, so we bet on the Nuggets to triumph.
