Spurs at Nuggets picks and predictionsPrediction
Spurs 125, Nuggets 122
PASS.
While the odds present value for both the Spurs (-135) and Nuggets (+110), the only side worth taking is the home team on the moneyline. Given the predicted outcome, avoid that play.
BET SPURS -1.5 (-115).
The Spurs are rolling and they’re performing at a high level on the road. San Antonio has covered 5 of its last 6 away games and sits 23-16-1 ATS on the road this season, the sixth-best covering rate in the NBA.
