However, the Spurs are expected to have Wembanyama for this game, and they've covered 7 of their last 10 games. The Nuggets have been on cruise control for a while, and they usually pull away in the final few minutes. The Nuggets are 37-42-1 ATS on the season. The Spurs took the Nuggets down to the wire earlier this month. This is a lot of points. Give me the Spurs and the boatload of buckets.
