SAN ANTONIO (Interstat) — A potential Western Conference finals preview unfolds Sunday when the NBA-leading San Antonio Spurs host the surging Denver Nuggets at Frost Bank Center. The Spurs (61-20), who have already clinched the league’s best record, seek to solidify their dominance and avenge a recent narrow loss to Denver. The Nuggets (52-27), winners of 11 straight games, arrive with championship momentum and the reigning MVP operating at a historic level. All eyes will be on Denver’s Nikola Jokic, who is in the midst of a breathtaking statistical run. Over his last 10 games, the center is averaging a triple-double of 24.8 points, 15.0 rebounds and 12.6 assists. He posted a 40-point, 13-assist performance in a 136-134 win over these same Spurs just eight days ago on April 4. In the teams’ most recent meeting, Jokic recorded 14 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a 136-119 victory over Memphis on Wednesday. San Antonio counters with All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox, who is averaging 15.6 points and 5.6 assists this season. Fox led the Spurs with 25 points and seven assists in their 112-101 win over Portland on Wednesday. He will be central to San Antonio’s efforts to control the tempo against Denver’s high-powered offense. The season series favors Denver 2-1, with both Nuggets victories coming by a single possession. The Spurs won the first meeting 139-136 in November. Given the stakes and the recent classics between them, another tightly contested battle is expected. Sunday’s result could carry significant psychological weight should these teams meet again in the postseason, which begins next week. For the Spurs, it’s a final tune-up to assert home-court authority. For the Nuggets, it’s a chance to carry a massive winning streak and a statement victory into the playoffs. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. CDT.
