Randy’s Pick

I'm not running to the window to back the San Antonio Spurs, but I'm certainly not laying double-digit chalk with the Nuggets. The Denver Nuggets are in a funk with losses in 4 of their last 5 games and the defensive effort just hasn't been there. Maybe a title hangover is hitting them a little late? The Nuggets are also 5-11 ATS on the season. Yeah… I just can't lay this many points. If forced to pick this game, I'll cover my eyes and take the points with the Spurs.
