Spurs Have Been Very Profitable as Home Faves
The San Antonio Spurs fell short in Game 2 vs the Denver Nuggets but now they get to return to the friendly confines of the AT&T Center for the next two games of their first-round series. The Spurs were one of the best bets at home at 32-9 SU and 24-17 ATS this season with their efficient shooting and beat this Nuggets team both times when it came for a visit.
The Spurs opened as 3.5-point favorites with a total of 212 (since moved to 210.5).
STANDOUT STATS
My Best Bet for Nuggets vs Spurs
Spurs -3.5
I’ve been very bullish on the Spurs to win this series and have been riding them with spread bets at home for most of the second half of the season.
San Antonio is so balanced and well-coached that I find it hard to envision the Nuggets keeping this game within 10 points. The Spurs are so dominant at home that they went 17-9 ATS in 26 home games vs the Western Conference and I expect them to correct the issues from Game 2 and shoot over 40 percent from three-point range again.
