NBA Games of the Week

San Antonio entered the week with a 1 1/2-game lead over Denver for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. This is the second of eight consecutive road games for the Spurs, who play five of those games before the All-Star break and three afterward. The road team has won both matchups between the teams this season. Denver's Carmelo Anthony is back after missing 10 games with a broken hand.
