The Denver Nuggets (52-23) host the San Antonio Spurs (18-57) in what is hoped to be a good matchup. This game will feature two of the best centers in the game. However, the overall qualities of the roster are very lopsided. Additionally, San Antonio received terrible injury news.
Regardless, is there a chance that the Spurs keep tonight’s game within the spread?

Game Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs may have been able to keep this game somewhat close. However, that is unlikely to happen. The Spurs didn’t have much of a chance either way but with the latest injury news instead of possibility. When their best player is on the floor, they can compete, at least in spurts, with any team in the league. However, with an already limited lineup outside of him, once he has to go to the bench, there is little hope that the Spurs team will be able to keep pace. Therefore, regardless of who ends up playing for the Denver Nuggets or not, I’m going with the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread.
Final Pick
Denver Nuggets -16 (-110)
