San Antonio at Denver

The San Antonio Spurs saw their 11-game winning streak come to a screeching halt in Portland as they lost by 40 to the Blazers. The loss is certainly acceptable after playing at such a high level for so long, but you can be sure the 137 points they allowed is not, and a defensive "A" game is to be expected here. I say that because this team rarely gets slapped around for a buck twenty plus on the scoreboard, in fact it has happened just five times in the last three years. How did they respond? Their next game’s average points allowed was 88.6 ppg! In their last 35 overall vs. a team with a winning record shows the Spurs are 26-9 to the UNDER. The Nuggets have been almost equally proficient at producing UNDERs vs. a winning team at 24-9 in their last 33. These clubs have combined to play to a 30-12-1 mark to the UNDER in their last 43 meetings including 18-6 in Denver. Play the UNDER.
