The Denver Nuggets has a must-win game at home against the San Antonio Spurs following a heartbreaking loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves yesterday. While the Nuggets are in a battle for third place in the Western Conference, the San Antonio Spurs have their focus directed to next season and have lost five games in a row as a result. With Nikola Jokic at his imperious best, and the Los Angeles Lakers breathing down their necks, Denver Nuggets are huge favorites to thump the lagging Spurs on Thursday morning.

Denver Nuggets
The Minnesota Timberwolves have the number of the Denver Nuggets, beating them for the fourth consecutive time with a double overtime 140-139 points victory in Denver yesterday. The Nuggets (47-29, third in the West) lost despite Nikola Jokic's 61 points, 10 rebounds, and ten assists for the third 60-point triple-double in NBA history. The three-time MVP played for 52 minutes, including the entire second half. The Nuggets and the Wolves exchanged the leads several times in a game that echoed playoff energy. The Denver Nuggets have won three from their last five but have five wins from their last ten. They were without Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray against the Wolves and may likely play without them here.

San Antonio Spurs (31-44) are the thirteenth seed in the Western Conference, five games behind the Sacramento Kings in the last play-in spot. Spurs have lost five consecutive games, losing easily to postseason-chasing opposition on the run. Yesterday, at home in San Antonio, the Spurs squandered a slim lead to lose 116-105 against the Orlando Magic. With seven games to go, Spurs are still mathematically in the play-in push, but realistically, it is a long call. To be fair to the franchise, their recent games have been against in-form teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, and the East's seventh seed, Orlando Magic.
