The current betting odds have the Nuggets listed as a 2.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Nuggets have looked really good in their games this season with their 49-28 record overall which has them right near the top of the West. They have looked great on their home court too with their 24-13 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Spurs have looked great in their games this season with their 59-18 record overall which has them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have been a great road team too with their 29-11 road record this year. The Spurs have been one of the best teams in the NBA this season since the start of the season and they are a team that has shown that they can challenge the Thunder who are still at the top. The Spurs have looked great lately too with 11 wins in a row now, but they have also been dealing with some injuries too. Wemby has been in and out of the lineup for them and even though they can still catch the Thunder for the number 1 seed in the West, the top priority for the Spurs is getting to the playoffs healthy. They are the hottest team in the NBA at the moment, but they have also been beating up on a lot of bad teams during that time and they aren't going to keep winning right to the end of the season. The Nuggets have been a really good team in the West all season and they have also been rolling in their games lately. They are 8-2 in their last 10 games and have a ton of momentum on their side with 7 wins in a row now. They are also fighting for seeding in the West so they are going to be motivated to win and will bring their best effort at home to put a stop to this Spurs winning streak. The best way to place a bet here is on the Nuggets to cover the spread in this game.

“We don’t have any more back-to-backs, so that helps him with more recovery time. It’s something we’ll definitely be mindful of so we can get everybody as healthy as they can be down the stretch.” - Mitch Johnson on the injury to Victor Wembanyama.

“Just expecting more from ourselves throughout the game. Just not letting up. We know [the Jazz], they come out and play every single game. ... We just got to make sure that we bring an intensity and focus to match that or exceed it. Every game, we've been trying to create good habits, no matter who we’re playing. No matter what the coverage is. We’re playing with some confidence and playing with some trust. Like I said, create good habits for the playoffs." - Jamal Murray after their win against the Jazz in their game on Wednesday.
