The Denver Nuggets, after losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in double overtime on Tuesday night, will be looking to add a win in the second half of a back-to-back. Despite Nikola Jokic posting 61 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, the Nuggets fell by a single point.

On Wednesday, they will host a much-less-talented San Antonio Spurs team who has been without both De'Aaron Fox and Victor Wembayama. Both of them have been ruled out for the season, but the Spurs will be even more shorthanded than initially thought.  

Both teams have a full injury report, but the Nuggets are still heavy favorites against the tanking Spurs.

Injury Report

  • Michael Porter Jr., personal (QUESTIONABLE)
  • Jamal Murray, hamstring (DOUBTFUL)

The Spurs missed Sochan in their last game, where they blew a seven-point fourth-quarter lead to the Orlando Magic yesterday. As the Spurs enter the final stretch, it might not come as a surprise if Sochan and Devin Vassell, who are two of the better players on the team, don't suit up for the rest of the year as San Antonio hopes for the best draft pick possible.

Denver, meanwhile, will enjoy an easy win if all goes well.
