San Antonio buried the Nuggets 127-99 in the first meeting on Jan. 5 as a seven-point favorite. The Spurs come into this one off a 122-114 win over Minnesota on Tuesday when Kawhi Leonard exploded for 34 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 29 points and the Spurs shot 51.2 percent. Denver won its third straight 127-121 at Los Angeles against the Lakers' leaky defense resulting in the Nuggets shooting 56.8 percent. Nikola Jokic led six Nuggets players in double figures with 29 points while grabbing 15 rebounds and Will Barton added 26 points. Jokic is probable tonight with an ankle injury. Denver will face a tougher defense tonight as the Spurs allow just 98.4 points per game and a .440 shooting percentage. San Antonio has covered nine of its last 11 home games and 13 of its last 18 overall. Also, the Spurs have covered five of their last six when following an ATS loss. Take the Spurs.
