Total: 213.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
The set-up: The 28-7 San Antonio Spurs own the second-best record in the NBA (Warriors are 31-5) but do own the league's best road record at 16-3. The 14-21 Denver Nuggets are trying to break a three-game losing streak that includes two losses at home to teams with sub-.500 records, leaving Denver just 7-10 SU & ATS at home on the season.
San Antonio: The Spurs cruised to an easy 28-point home victory over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday and this is only the second of three road games in a 12-game span for San Antonio. Leonard (24.0 & 5.9) and Aldridge (17.5 & 7.3) have established themselves are the spurs' top-two players but that San Antonio depth is still there, as seven other Spurs play regularly and average between 6.0 and 12.2 PPG. Gasol tops that list at 12.2 & 7.9 plus Parker is up to 11.1 PPG (4.6 APG) after averaging 18.8 points on 56.9 percent shooting in the last four games.
Denver: "We have the worst defense in the NBA, that's the bottom line," Denver head coach Mike Malone told reporters after a 120-113 home loss to the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. "It's embarrassing how we go out there and attempt to defend every night. That's something that we have to try to fix as soon as possible because it's at an all-time low right now. That is a huge concern of mine." Actually, Denver ranks 27th (of 30 teams) by allowing 110.5 PPG but Malone is referring to the Nuggets allowing an average of 123.7 points during the team's current three-game slide
The pick: The Spurs have won 10 of their last 12 overall coming in and have had plenty of success lately vs. the Nuggets. They've won five of six the last three seasons at Pepsi Center and have won 10 of 11 overall against Denver, as the Nuggets snapped a 10-game losing streak in the series with a 102-98 home win on April 8 of last season. (note: Popovich sat Aldridge, Leonard, Parker and SG Danny Green in that game). Expect the Nuggets to respond defensively to Malone calling out their poor play recently plus note that the Spurs rank second in the NBA, allowing just 97.8 PPG. the Under is a 10* play.
