The San Antonio Spurs were on a nice run as they had reeled off three straight wins before falling short against the Warriors in a 117-113 loss on Sunday. Victor Wembenyama led the team with 32 points, nine rebounds and five assists, Cedi Osman added 18 points while Tre Jones chipped in with 12 points and six assists. As a team, the Spurs shot 44 percent from the field and 17 of 43 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 34 points in the first quarter to take an early 13-point lead, but they let all their had work go to waste in the third quarter where the Warriors dominated by 37-21 to take the game away from them in an instant.
Denver Nuggets
Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets have been in great form as they’ve won 10 of their last 13 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after blowing past the Cavaliers in a 130-101 win on Sunday. Nikola Jokic led the team with a triple-double of 26 points with 18 rebounds and 16 assists, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 22 points on seven of 10 shooting while Michael Porter Jr and Reggie Jackson each scored 19 points. As a team, the Nuggets shot 57 percent from the field and a sizzling 21 of 33 from the 3-point line as they dominated from start to finish, pouring in 65 points in the first half, before they outscored the Cavaliers by 36-21 in the third quarter to put the game to bed early.

Spurs vs Nuggets prediction
The Spurs are still missing Keldon Johnson Devin Vassell and Jeremy Sochan, while the Nuggets are keeping an eye on Jamal Murray, who is questionable for this one. The Spurs have sprung to life lately as they’ve looked great in their last four games, while the Nuggets have continued to pile on the wins. The Nuggets won’t have too much trouble getting the win in this one, but for some reason, I can see the Spurs hanging around long enough to get the backdoor cover in the end.
