Denver Nuggets

On December 26 and 28, the Nuggets lost twice in a row, first failing on Christmas Day on the road against Phoenix (100:110), and then losing at home to Cleveland (135:149) in a very bright encounter. Denver won three in a row, scoring at least 132 points in each of those games - at home the Nuggets were stronger than Detroit (134:121) and Atlanta (139:120), and on the road they outplayed Utah (132:121).

It should be noted that Denver has one of the worst defenses this season, but the Nuggets are third on offense, scoring 121.1 points per game on average. It is because of such a high-powered offensive game that builds around Nikola Jokic that the Colorado team is riding high in the Western Conference standings - in fourth place with a 19-13 balance.

San Antonio Spurs

The Spurs can surely be happy with their tournament position, too, because the Texans are now located in the play-in zone - on the tenth line in the Western Conference with a balance of 17-16. Moreover, the eighth and ninth teams in the West - Minnesota and Golden State - have identical win totals.

Last game, San Antonio unexpectedly beat the Los Angeles Clippers 122:86 at home. The Spurs lost on three-pointers (9:11), but realized more than 67% of two-point attempts, and also completely outscored their opponent in rebounds (58:41) and assists (37:17).

Expert Betting Tips

Almost all of Denver's games this season are efficient, as the Nuggets are one of the most unbalanced teams on offense. San Antonio also has the potential to attack well, as shown, for example, by the Spurs' previous match against the Los Angeles Clippers. Accordingly, we bet on a higher total in the upcoming game, and we also believe that Denver will achieve a fourth consecutive victory. So far, the effectiveness of the Nuggets offense is enough to steadily collect victories along the championship distance.
