San Antonio at Denver

Denver won its opener, 110-98, on Wednesday as Nikola Jokic had 27 points and 13 rebounds, and the Nuggets outscored Phoenix 59-40 in the second half. San Antonio also won its first game of the season, 123-97, over Orlando with Devin Vassell scoring 19 points for the Spurs. Denver has won five of the past six meetings with the Spurs, and the Nuggets are poised again to go deep into the playoffs, especially if and when Jamal Murray can come back from an ACL injury. San Antonio might be facing a rebuild as it has been fighting mediocrity the last couple of years. The Spurs are 3-8 ATS their past 11 games after winning by more than 10 points, and Denver poses a much stiffer challenge than the Magic. This is also a high total. Denver is 12-5 UNDER its last 17 games playing with one day of rest, and the Nuggets went UNDER by 16.5 points against the Suns. Play the Nuggets and the UNDER.
