San Antonio Spurs vs Denver Nuggets Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for Apr. 2 | NBA 2024-25 season

The San Antonio Spurs will travel to Colorado for a one-game short road trip, as the Denver Nuggets host them at the Ball Arena. The teams go head-to-head for the final time as their regular season series is tied one apiece.

The Jan. 3 Spurs vs. Nuggets meeting was a thriller to the T. Nikola Jokic captivated the home crowd as he nearly achieved a triple-double with 41 points, 18 rebounds, and nine assists. However, Victor Wembanyama - with a 35-point, 18-rebound double-double - led San Antonio to a 113-110 victory over Denver.

The two Western Conference teams went against each other the next night. For the second night in a row, the Wemby-Jokic duel didn’t disappoint: 2024 Rookie of the Year Wembanyama notched a 20-point, 23-rebound double-double whereas three-time MVP Jokic registered 46 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists in the Nuggets's 122-111 overtime win.

Following the back-to-back, the teams have endured drastic changes. San Antonio has suffered significant setbacks, as De’Aaron Fox and Wembanyama are out with season-ending injuries. As a result, the Texan side has witnessed a massive dip in its performance, recently suffering five straight losses.
