San Antonio Spurs vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

I’m not sure what to expect from the Nuggets, as they’re on the end of a back-to-back that included double overtime. The Nuggets had that game won several times, and they wasted a 60-point triple-double from Jokic. Westbrook had a historically bad sequence at the end that just boggles the mind. The Nuggets starters logged heavy minutes last night, and for it to go to waste could lead to a sleepless night. With all of that said, the Spurs played last night as well, and they’re an undermanned team that’s waiting for the season to end. The Nuggets are loaded with vets, and I’d assume they can get off the canvas to put away a Spurs side that’s going nowhere. I’ll lay the points with the Nuggets, even though I don’t love it.
