San Antonio ready to contend for an NBA title
The San Antonio Spurs will snap a six-year postseason drought and are well ahead of schedule in their turnaround. Most experts predicted the Spurs to reach the playoffs, but few thought they would be ready to compete for an NBA title as quickly as this year. San Antonio ranks third in the league in offensive efficiency by Hollinger's NBA Team Statistics and is scoring a shade below 120 points per contest. The Spurs have won 29 of their 40 road games and are just two games back of Oklahoma City for the top spot in the Western Conference. On Thursday, San Antonio built a 24-point halftime lead and cruised to a 118-99 road triumph against LA.
All-Star F/C Victor Wembanyama leads San Antonio in scoring (24.7 ppg) and rebounds (11.5 rpg). Wembanyama is a lock for Defensive Player of the Year and leads the NBA with 3.1 blocks per game. De’Aaron Fox is the primary offensive option in the final minutes and ranks second on the Spurs in scoring at 18.5 points per game. Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle is scoring 16.7 points per game and leads the team in assists (7.2 apg).

Denver rounding into playoff form
The Denver Nuggets won the NBA Championship in 2023, but have been eliminated in the second round of the playoffs the last two seasons. The Nuggets have navigated the regular season with several injuries to their key players but appear to be getting healthy at the right time. Denver leads the league in offensive efficiency by Hollinger's NBA Team Statistics and is averaging 121.4 points per contest. The Nuggets are 11 games above .500 at home and are a game back of Los Angeles for third place in the Western Conference standings. On Wednesday, All-Star G Jamal Murray nailed ten three-pointers to lead Denver to a 130-117 road victory against Utah.
An argument could be made for Nikola Jokic to be the NBA MVP for a fourth time, since no player is more tied to his team’s success. Jokic leads Denver in scoring at 27.7 points per game, while ranking first in the NBA in rebounds (13.0 rpg) and assists (10.8 apg). First-time All-Star Jamal Murray is averaging a career-high 25.6 points for the Nuggets, which is good for 12th in the NBA. Aaron Gordon (16.3 ppg) is a talented defender and continues to improve on the offensive end of the floor.
