In what became a new scheduling trend during the 2020-21 season, the Denver Nuggets will remain in San Antonio for a second consecutive matchup against the Spurs on Saturday.
Denver (12-13) will certainly be hoping for a different result than Thursday’s contest, which saw the Spurs control the boards and use a hot shooting night to comfortably secure a 123-111 victory. Although Nikola Jokiu0107 dropped a triple-double for a third straight game and Aaron Gordon scored 25 points on 9-of-12 shooting, Denver struggled to get stops and couldn’t match San Antonio’s firepower.

San Antonio (9-15) will be looking to replicate a similar formula from Thursday, using an up-tempo attack and an advantage on the offensive glass to generate plenty of second-chance scoring opportunities.
