Denver Nuggets vs San Antonio Spurs Moneyline Prediction

Don’t be surprised if this matchup ends up being a preview of a Western Conference semifinal or even a Western Conference Finals.

As good as the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers have been, the Spurs and Nuggets are among the top teams in the West. This should be a tight battle, just like the previous two head-to-head meetings earlier in the season.

The Nuggets have the advantage of playing at home and are also pretty well rested since their last outing was on Wednesday, April 1.

They’ve been on a roll lately, and their recent 130-117 win over the Utah Jazz extended their winning streak to seven games. They’ve also won seven straight at home, where the altitude of Denver (5,280 feet above sea level) plays a role.

However, the Spurs are arguably in even better form. Their 118-99 win over the Los Angeles Clippers pushed their current winning streak to 11 encounters, and they’ve now won 14 of their last 15.

The lone defeat in that span was a 136-131 loss to Denver, but it was a clash where Victor Wembanyama (rest) didn’t play. The Frenchman didn’t suit up on Thursday, which suggests he should be available this time.

With the Spurs close to full strength and Wembanyama expected to return, the dynamic of the game should change completely. Even though the Nuggets will compete hard at home, ultimately, San Antonio are the better team. That advantage could be enough to extend their winning streak to 12 games with a narrow victory.

Denver Nuggets vs San Antonio Spurs Player Prop

Wembanyama is widely expected to return to the court after sitting out the win over the Clippers. While the matchup against Denver’s frontcourt is far from ideal, he should remain productive.

Over his last 10 outings, Wembanyama has averaged 27.5 points, 13.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 3.5 blocks, and 1.3 steals per game. If he stays on the court longer than 30 minutes, he should have a good chance of clearing this line.

Denver Nuggets vs San Antonio Spurs Same Game Parlay

Our three-leg parlay begins with the expectation of a high-scoring matchup. It only takes a quick look at the previous two head-to-head meetings to notice a trend here. Both encounters surpassed the 260-point mark, with each team scoring at least 130 points.

Expect a back-and-forth contest at a venue that also favours fast-paced squads.

We’re also backing Stephon Castle to deliver an impressive performance. He’s coming off a game in which he recorded 25 points + assists.

Castle has been a reliable scoring and playmaking force for the Spurs and is averaging 18.7 points and 8.5 assists per game over his last six appearances.

It’s also impossible to count Jokic out as the driving force on offence for the Nuggets. The star big man and MVP candidate has been on a tear lately and is coming off a triple-double in the win over Utah. Jokic has posted five triple-doubles over his last six outings, averaging 23.5 points, 16.5 rebounds, and 13.7 assists per game during that impressive stretch.

Denver Nuggets vs San Antonio Spurs Team News

Denver Nuggets Team News

The Nuggets are dealing with several absences, though final calls regarding each player’s status will be made closer to Saturday’s tip-off. The list includes Tim Hardaway (knee), Zeke Nnaji (hip), Peyton Watson (hamstring), and Spencer Jones (hamstring). Hardaway and Watson are the biggest names among them, as both are regular rotation members.

San Antonio Spurs Team News

The Spurs rested Victor Wembanyama in the win over the Clippers on Thursday, but the star big man is expected to return for this contest and should handle his regular workload. San Antonio should have their entire rotation available, with the lone injury concerns being Emanuel Miller (undisclosed) and David Jones Garcia (ankle), neither of whom plays a significant role in Mitch Johnson’s regular rotation.
