Denver Nuggets Betting Preview
The Denver Nuggets haven’t been at their best lately as they’ve split their last 12 games overall, but they must be feeling much better after they snapped a two-game skid with a 129-93 loss over the Rockets last night. Jamal Murray led the team with 30 points on 11 of 21 shooting, Christian Braun added 19 points on eight of 10 shooting while Nikola Jokic tallied a triple-double of 16 points with 12 rebounds, 13 assists and five steals. As a team, the Nuggets shot 55 percent from the field and 17 of 32 from the 3-point line as they played solid defense at the start of the game to take a narrow lead into halftime, before they absolutely dominated the second half by 76-46 to secure one of their best wins of the season.
San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been on fire as they’ve won 16 of their last 17 games overall and they will be gunning for a sixth straight victory after beating the Celtics in a 125-116 win on Tuesday. Victor Wembenyama led the team with 39 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks, De’Aaron Fox added 25 points and nine assists on 11 of 14 shooting, Stephon Castle scored 18 points with nine rebounds and six assists while Devin Vassell chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Spurs shot 52 percent from the field and 20 of 47 from the 3-point line as they traded shots with the Celtics in a game that was really closely contested until midway through the fourth quarter where the Spurs went on a crucial 12-0 run to take a 13-point lead.
Denver v San Antonio Free Prediction
The Nuggets are still missing Peyton Watson, while the Spurs are keeping an eye on Harrison Barnes, Lindy Waters III and Victor Wembenyama who are all questionable for this one. The Nuggets are playing their second game of a back to back set which is always tough but they could be dodging a real bullet here if Wembenyama isn’t able to suit up for the Spurs in this meeting. This is definitely a game where you should check the lineups before tipoff but as it stands, I prefer a play on the Nuggets to build on last night’s with an upset win this spot against what could be a shorthanded Spurs outfit.
