Game Prediction
Among the NBA regular season games scheduled for November 27, our attention is drawn to the confrontation between the Denver Nuggets and the San Antonio Spurs, for which our analysts have crafted a match forecast.
The Nuggets have experienced a significant slowdown
The reigning champions began the season confidently but have recently encountered a setback, suffering four defeats in their last five encounters. Despite this decline, the team's standing remains relatively unscathed, currently occupying the fourth position in the Western Conference, trailing the leader by only one victory. In their recent match, played away against Houston, the team succumbed with a scoreline of 86:105, with even Jokic's impressive double-double of 38 points and 19 rebounds unable to alter the outcome. At least two players will be absent from the court due to injuries, while four remain questionable, including Jokic.

The Spurs have forgotten the taste of victory
The season for Gregg Popovich's proteges has taken a catastrophic turn, with only three victories in 16 matches, placing them at the bottom of the Western Conference. The Spurs can already be ruled out as contenders for the playoffs, as there seems to be no breakthrough in sight. The team, after unexpectedly defeating Phoenix twice at the start of the season, has been on a continuous losing streak, extending to 11 consecutive matches. In their last confrontation, there was a defeat away against Golden State with a score of 112:118. The first draft pick performs reasonably well, although it is insufficient to carry the team. There are no personnel losses before this encounter.
Head-to-head encounters
The opponents crossed paths three times in the previous season, with the Denver Nuggets securing victory in two of those instances.
