San Antonio Spurs Team News
Former champions and power from the West, the San Antonio Spurs decided a couple of seasons ago to embark on a slight overhaul, while this year they embarked on a total overhaul. This was clear when they traded the main star of the team, Dejounte Murray, who was the player who improved the most last year.
However, even this season, the Spurs look decent compared to the team with the experienced Gregg Popovich. This season, the Spurs picked up a mini Boris Diaw, four from Baylor, and Jeremy Sochan in the Draft. Young, Joshua Primo left the team due to personal problems and briefly interrupted his career. Lonnie Walker and Jock Landale, who play very well in the Lakers and Suns, also left the team.
The moves of Spurs management are somewhat illogical. But still, the Spurs are 5-5 this season, which is a very good start to the season. The team is led by Johnson, who averages 23.1 points.
However, they are in a series of three defeats, and in the last match, they were defeated by the Nuggets with a 25-point difference. Now they have a chance to make amends.
Denver Nuggets Team News
Finally, this season the Nuggets are playing in the strongest lineup. After many struggles with injuries, and not playing the main players last season, this season Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. returned to action. Next to Nikola Jokić, the Nuggets’ two best offensive options.
This season, Nikola Jokić is proving that he is deservedly the best player in the world for the last two years. Although the Nuggets play hot and cold, Jokić continues in the fashion from last season. He is almost averaging a triple-double, and as the season goes on his games look better.
The team from Colorado has strengthened in all positions, and all well-known and experienced names have arrived, which will contribute especially to the width of the attack in the reserve fives. KCP, Ish Smith, and Deandre Jordan arrived in Denver.
In the last match between these two teams, Jokić dominated again and was four rebounds short of a triple-double, while he had great help from Hyland, who added 24 points and had 7 assists.
