Nuggets vs. Spurs Odds
Game Preview
The Denver Nuggets beat the Rockets last night in Houston, 129-93, with Jokic having another masterful performance. He had a triple-double, his 25th of the campaign, scoring 16 points, with 13 assists and 12 boards.
However, Jokic can’t cover up all the flaws this team has. The Nuggets’ defense has been pretty leaky this season, allowing 116.6 PPG. It’s no wonder that Denver already posted 26 losses this season.
The San Antonio Spurs are the hottest team in the league. Right now, they have 5 wins in a row and 9 in the last 10 appearances. They recently dismantled the Celtics 125-116, with Wembanyama scoring 39 points.
What we noticed in recent games is that the Spurs’ offense is on fire, scoring fewer than 121 points just once in the previous 5 contests. And the rivals they faced were nothing short of the elite: 76ers, Pistons, Clippers, Rockets, Celtics.
Nuggets vs. Spurs Head to Head
San Antonio has had Denver’s number recently, winning their last meeting 139-136 in a double-overtime thriller.
Nuggets vs. Spurs Betting Trends
- TOTAL went OVER in 13 of Denver’s last 19 games.
- TOTAL went OVER in the Nuggets’ previous 9 road games.
- Spurs are 5-0 SU in the last 5 events.
- Spurs have 9 wins in a row at Frost Bank Center.
Nuggets vs. Spurs Predictions
Many things here depend on Wembanyama, as his presence or absence completely shifts the picture of this matchup. Wemby is in excellent form and was recently named the Western Conference player of the week. If he plays, but that’s only if he plays, we pick over 234.5 points, because the Spurs are in an excellent offensive mood. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are scoring 120+ points on average, so this should be a safe pick.
