San Antonio Spurs vs Denver Nuggets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/04/26

One win streak will have to give on Saturday when the Spurs and Nuggets clash in what promises to be a fascinating affair. The Spurs have won 11 in a row and even though there’s only 5 games left they’re not giving up on the idea of caching the Thunder in 1st place who are 2 games ahead in the standings. This will be the 3rd time San Antonio and Denver collide this season, but interestingly enough it’ll be the first time the Spurs have Victor Wembanyama at their disposal as he missed the first two meetings. The oddsmakers have them as slight favorites going into this one, understandable considering Wembanyama put up back-to-back 41-point double-doubles in his last two games.

This game will also tell us a lot about the Nuggets. They’ve struggled for consistency this season, but mostly due to a lack of luck in the injury department. Players have gone in and out of the line-up, even now they have Tim Hardaway Jr. and Peyton Watson potentially both missing this game. The starting unit is healthy though which is the key for them and these remaining 5 games are a great opportunity for head coach David Adelman to do some last second adjustments as they get set for another deep postseason run. As things stand the Nuggets are in 4th which would see them play the Rockets in the 1st round, but after the Luka Doncic injury they now have the opportunity to catch the Lakers in 3rd which would likely pit them against the Timberwolves.

The intensity level will be high here, much higher than in the first two meetings where we saw both teams go in the 130s in both games. Defenses will have to tighten up, a lot is at stake here, I feel like the under could be a solid bet in this one. San Antonio has cashed on that bet 4 times in their last 5 games, they are 17-24-1 on the O/U in away games this season. I believe whoever comes out on top here will do so by playing harder on the defensive end. Back the under.
