Short-Handed Nuggets Host Red-Hot Spurs in Key Matchup
4 Apr
Summary
- Nuggets face Spurs with multiple key players injured.
- Jokic and Wembanyama, MVP candidates, set for a showdown.
- Spurs are healthy and on an impressive 11-game winning streak.

The Denver Nuggets are facing a critical test as they host the San Antonio Spurs, despite dealing with several player injuries. With just five games remaining in the regular season, the Nuggets are aiming to secure a higher seed but will be without important rotation players.
Peyton Watson has been ruled out "week to week" due to a reaggravated hamstring injury, and backup forwards Spencer Jones and Zeke Nnaji are also unavailable. This leaves the Nuggets shorthanded against a Spurs team that has won their last 11 consecutive games. The Spurs, conversely, are nearly at full strength.
