The Nuggets defeated Memphis 87-78 home at Denver last night. Very tough spot here when they visit the Spurs in San Antonio on no rest.

The Spurs meanwhile have had a day off since an embarrassing 93-81 loss at LA Lakers on Thursday. Spurs off a double-digit loss and scoring just 78 points? Gregg Popovich will no doubt have his team fired up for this contest.

San Antonio PG Tony Parker should be ready to play on here Denver after sitting out three games with a sprained right ankle. "I could have played tonight," Parker said after the loss to the Lakers. "But you know the Spurs, they are going to just be cautious."

Denver is just 7-15 SU (8-12-2 ATS) on the road this season, and the Spurs are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a losing road record and 12-3-2 ATS in their last 17 games playing on one days rest. The Spurs went 3-0 against the Nuggets last season and the favorite is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings in the series.

My NBA Game of the Week is a 10* play on San Antonio Spurs.
