Regular Season Record-

Players to watch out for:

Denver Nuggets:

Nikola Jokic – Nikola Jokic is a player who is primed to win a super-max contract. For he has been carrying his team all the season, in the playoffs as well. How critical he is can be seen by the fact that Gregg Popovich has employed two players on him in this series, forcing Denver’s other players to have a go from the perimeter.

He has averaged 20.1 points and 10.8 rebounds per game in the regular season. The big Serbian remains Nuggets’ best player by some stretch.

Jamal Murray – The 22-year-old is certainly in a very good form as this season. He is Nuggets’ 2nd best player in the offensive department, averaging 17.8 points per game in the postseason.

San Antonio Spurs:

DeMar DeRozan – Spurs are having quite a post-season. They are running Denver Nuggets close despite being a clear gulf between both the teams. DeMar DeRozan’s performance is the reason why Spurs now have a genuine chance of producing a real shock here. The former Toronto Raptors star is averaging 23.3 in the playoffs this season.

LaMarcus Aldridge – Spurs’ most consistent player this season without a splinter of a doubt. The 33-year-old Center has racked up points at 21.3 in the 2018-19 regular season.
