First Round Playoff Preview: 2. Denver Nuggets vs. 7. San Antonio Spurs

What a season it has been for both teams. The Nuggets came into the season off a heartbreaking Game 82 loss that kept them out of the playoffs last season. This year, they pushed all the way up to the second-best record in the Western Conference despite being one of the youngest teams in the league and leading the league in games lost due to injury, missing at least one starter for over 60 games this season.

Here’s what to expect from each team going into the first round of the 2019 NBA Playoffs.
