Nuggets, Spurs clash in San Antonio

Basketball Betting Lines

02/20/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Antonio Spurs have recovered from their eight-game road trip and return to the AT&T Center this evening to host the Denver Nuggets.

San Antonio, which is second in the Southwest standings, went 4-4 on the swing and has won two straight, including last Wednesday's 90-81 win over the Detroit Pistons at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

Tim Duncan scored 23 points and grabbed eight rebounds, while Manu Ginobili added 20 points to help end Detroit's seven-game winning streak. Tony Parker netted 16 points and dished out eight assists for the Spurs, who will now work on their 16-8 home record.

Duncan had four points and five rebounds, while Parker added eight points and 10 assists in Sunday's win for the West in the 56th All-Star Game.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets had a three-game winning streak come to an with a 99-94 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on February 14 at the Target Center.

All-Star Carmelo Anthony left the game with a bruised right thigh but returned to score 28 points. Nene scored 18 points for the Nuggets, who are 12-11 away from the Pepsi Center this season.

Anthony recorded 20 points and nine boards for the West on Sunday.

Denver played Minnesota without All-Star guard Allen Iverson, who has eight out of the Nuggets last nine games with a sprained ankle. Iverson, who is questionable for tonight, skipped Sunday's All-Star Game in Las Vegas due to the injury. The Nuggets are 4-4 in the stretch without Iverson, who is probable for tonight's contest.

Tuesday's matchup between Denver and San Antonio is the second of three meetings this season. The Spurs won the first encounter, 92-83, on January 10 at the Pepsi Center.

Denver has won four of the last seven meetings, but has dropped nine of 11 and 16 of its last 19 trips to San Antonio.
