Denver Nuggets at San Antonio Spurs Predictions & Picks

Denver are tipped to cover if San Antonio are short-handed in this one.

The Nuggets are playing for the second night in a row, which is tough, but the timing could be good form them with Victor Wembanyama among several players listed questionable for the Spurs.

We recommend checking in on the line-ups before betting on this matchup.

  • Denver Nuggets are 7-2-0 ATS in their last 9 games as a betting underdog
  • Denver Nuggets are 13-5 in their previous 18 road games
  • The Under has cashed in 5 of the previous 7 meetings

Head To Head

  • San Antonio Spurs lead the all-time series 149-91
  • San Antonio Spurs won 139-136 when the two teams last met on November 28

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver enter this matchup on the back of a victory, but on an inconsistent run with seven wins and seven defeats in their last 10 games.

The Nuggets snapped a three-game skid with a 136-120 victory in Chicago, but they failed to build on that as they went on to go 3-3 over their next six games.

They then ended February with a 127-121 overtime defeat at Oklahoma City, before starting March with a 117-108 defeat to Minnesota.

Denver finally strung together wins when they beat Utah 128-125 on the road and the Los Angeles Lakers 120-113 at home, but they failed to build on that as they lost the next two.

The Nuggets were beaten 142-103 to New York and 129-126 at Oklahoma City, before avoiding a third straight loss as they downed Houston 129-93 last night.

San Antonio Spurs Form

San Antonio go into this game on a dominant run of form, having won 16 of their last 17 games and each of the previous five.

The Spurs began this run at the start of February as a 112-103 victory over Orlando sparked a season-best 11-game win streak.

That streak was finally ended on March 1 as they were beaten 114-89 in New York, but they issued an emphatic response as they reeled off five consecutive victories.

San Antonio started that streak on the road as they blew out the 76ers in Philadelphia, 131-91.

The Spurs then returned home to beat Detroit 121-106, LA Clippers 116-112, Houston 145-120 and Boston 125-116.

Verdict

San Antonio are on a red-hot run at this time, but they could be short-handed for this one.

If they are – and Wembanyama is one of those missing – the visiting Nuggets make a tempting pick with the free buckets.
