Spurs at Nuggets odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 121, Spurs 108

Money line

PASS even though Denver should cruise past a Murray-less Spurs but the -400 tag is way too expensive.

Murray is San Antonio’s leading scorer and assist man and third in adjusted on/off net rating, according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG).

Denver is sixth in offensive rating and San Antonio struggles against strong offenses. The Spurs are 6-20 SU versus teams in the top-10 of offensive efficiency with a minus-6.3 adjusted net rating (ranked 21st), per CTG.

The only sensible way to try and profit off this game is to lay the points with Denver or bet the total.
