Nuggets at Spurs Picks and Predictions

Nuggets 129, Spurs 115
Money line
It’s not a difficult decision for the winner to make. This is a team with the best record in the conference versus the team with the worst record in the conference.
The Spurs are 7-23 at home, compared to 19-14 on the road for Denver.
The Spurs have just 4 wins in their last 20 games, while the Nuggets have won 10 of their last 11 and 4 in a row.
The Nuggets should handle the Spurs, but that doesn’t make them a good moneyline bet at -550. It’s not worth it unless it’s included in a Parlay bet.
