Victor Wembayama's
San Antonio Spurs are ready to take on the
Denver Nuggets, led by
Nikola Jokic in one of the 7 games scheduled for this NBA Friday night.
The Nuggets will be the traveling to San Antonio in a game that, considering the record difference, should be won by Michael Malone's squad. Denver is currently in 2nd place in the Western Conference with a 46-20 record, although tied with the Western leaders, Oklahoma City Thunder. So if they beat San Antonio tonight they will regain the top spot.
The Spurs, meanwhile, remain the worst team in the West. With a record of 14-52, the Texas franchise is the last in the standings, and their main motivation for a game like today's essentially lies in trying to make it as difficult as possible against one of the best teams in the NBA. A victory could be great to compensate their fans for a rather decepointing season.
