The Denver Nuggets will be at home to welcome the San Antonio Spurs in the penultimate regular season matchup between the two. Denver come to this game as the second-best team in the West standings while the Spurs are rock bottom in the conference. The Nuggets got back to winning ways last time out after successive defeats. Mike Malone’s men were emphatic 130-101 winners over the visiting Cavaliers. This was their 52nd win of the season and it kept them half a game from reassuming top spot. The Nuggets have already confirmed a playoff spot and a win here will make sure they cannot finish any lower than sixth. Victory here will also see them clinch this series with a game to spare. Denver have defeated the Spurs in both matchups so far. They were 132-120 winners the last time their latest visitors were in town. Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic are probable for this game while Jamal Murray is questionable. Murray has missed the last five games with a knee issue. The Nuggets have averaged 108.3 points over their last three fixtures.

The Spurs have seen their scoring average shoot upwards in recent matches. Greg Popovich’s men have averaged 120.3 points over their last three games which is eight points more than their season average. The Spurs were defeated 117-113 last time out by the Warriors at home. Their 57th loss of the season snapped a three-match winning run which was their best period this season. The Spurs had not won more than two matches in a row before their recent positive run. They will seek to get back to this form and manage at least 20 wins by the regular season comes to a close. San Antonio were among the first teams to be eliminated from playoff contention and are playing only for pride. Their 18-57 record is currently the third-joint worst record. Jeremy Sochan Keldon Johnson, and Devin Vassell will again not be available for selection due to injuries.
