The San Antonio Spurs stole Game 1 in a close one by hitting 7-of-15 from three-point range. It will be tough to do that again against a Denver defense that was tops in the NBA this season at defending beyond the arc, holding opponents to .339 shooting. The Spurs are 17-25 straight-up on the road and face a Nuggets team that is 34-8 straight-up at home. Denver was sixth in the NBA in points allowed this season and is 115-78 ATS at home after playing two consecutive home contests. And Mike Malone is 18-7 ATS as coach of the Nuggets at home revenging a straight-up loss against an opponent as a favorite, so back the hungry home team in bounce-back mode. Play Denver.
