NBA Picks & Predictions for Thursday, December 16, 2010
By Drew Sharper
DENVER, CO (TheSpread) – The San Antonio Spurs look to hold on to their top record in the Western Conference on Thursday when they take on the Denver Nuggets. Here is a breakdown of my pick for the game.
San Antonio is 21-3 on the year and 8-1 on the road. The Spurs have won 6 straight and 8 of their last 10 games. The Nuggets are 15-9 on the season and 11-5 at home. They have won 7 of their last 10 games.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook Sportsbook.com have released their odds for this game and they have made the Spurs a 2-point favorite on the road. The over/under total has been set at 212.5. Here are some trends to consider and my pick for tonight’s game:
San Antonio Spurs vs. Denver Nuggets, 10:30PM ET
The road team has covered the spread in the last eight games between these two teams while the Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last four games in Denver. The under has hit in 23 of the last 30 games between the Spurs and Nuggets as well. My pick is with the Spurs. They have the championship pedigree and experience to keep playing well while Denver still lacks that little something to win the big games consistently.
