Denver Nuggets vs San Antonio Spurs prediction
The San Antonio Spurs have been more competitive than their record indicates, and it’s led to covers in 7 of their last 10 games. The Denver Nuggets aren’t as good on the road as they are at home, and they allow teams to than around at times. With that said, the Nuggets pull away in the second half when they need to, and they’ve also covered 7 of their last 10 games. The Nuggets beat the Spurs by 12 points back in November. Big number for a road team, but it’s nothing the Nuggets can’t cover. I’ll side with the Nuggets on the road.
