San Antonio Spurs vs Denver Nuggets Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Carlos Zabala | in NBA Picks

Nuggets and Spurs clash on January 3 in one of the most attractive games on Friday's card.

It will be the first game of the season between these conference rivals and the one that will see Wemabyama face off for the Spurs and on the other side Jokic for the Nuggets. The Serbian, with another triple double, overwhelmed the Hawks in the first game of 2025 at the Ball Arena, Jokic recorded a triple double with 23 points, 17 rebounds and 15 assists. To enhance his already legendary season, Jokic was on the verge of leaving at halftime having already achieved the triple-double, finally consummating it in the second half and it is #144 of his career. Murray accompanied the Serbian with 21 points, and the Nuggets that night from the free throws did not fail, they scored the 21 they had.

The Spurs also destroyed the Clippers with a final score of 122-86 in a game that they were favored to win by 3.5 points on the betting sites. Even though they scored only 9 of the 40 three-pointers they shot, San Antonio prevailed thanks to 62 points in the paint.

Our San Antonio Spurs vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

At this point, and especially having regained their form at Ball Arena in December, it seems unlikely to give the Nuggets and in particular the almost certain MVP Jokic a stop. Also, with Murray in the middle of a streak of 4 straight games scoring 20 or more points, it seems that Wembanyama will have to work twice as hard on defense. We think the Nuggets are headed toward covering like they did against the Hawks. Our prediction for Nuggets vs Spurs is: Nuggets -7.5.

Prediction:

 

Nuggets -7.5.
