The Denver Nuggets (40-26) visit the San Antonio Spurs (48-17) in an NBA 2025-26 matchup on Thursday, March 12, at Frost Bank Center.

San Antonio holds the advantage in the only head-to-head encounter against Denver so far this season. The Spurs notched a narrow 139-136 triumph back in November. Victor Wembanyama didn't play in that game, but Devin Vassell carried the mantle with his team-high 35 markers.

The Spurs are also one of the hottest teams in the league right now, having won 16 of their last 17 games, including their last five. They're coming off a 125-116 win over the Boston Celtics, where Wembanyama put up 39 points and 11 rebounds. 

Prior to win against the Celtics, the Spurs also defeated perennial contenders in their current five-game winning streak, including the Houston Rockets and Detroit Pistons.

The Nuggets also enter this contest after a demanding schedule but managed to secure a dominant 129-93 blowout win over the Houston Rockets. They held Houston to a paltry 12.1% from three-point range.

Jamal Murray led the Nuggets with 30 points, while Nikola Jokic got his triple-double line of 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assists. Four other Nuggets players scored in double digits, including Christian Braun's 19.
