Denver Nuggets at San Antonio Spurs

We are backing San Antonio in this lopsided spread as Denver has effectively punted their season finale, officially ruling out six key rotation players including Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and Christian Braun. While Nikola Jokic is active, he is widely reported to be restricted to a brief first-half cameo solely to satisfy the NBA's 65-game award eligibility threshold. Against a San Antonio squad locked into the #2 seed and playing at home, the Nuggets' skeleton crew is projected to struggle to cover a double-digit gap without over 90 points per game of their usual production.
