DENVER – SAN ANTONIO: Jokic vs. Wembanyama in MVP Candidate Showdown

Both teams are in exceptional form. The Nuggets have strung together seven straight wins, clearly hitting their stride just in time for the playoffs. However, they face a formidable opponent from Texas. The San Antonio Spurs have been a machine since the All-Star break, suffering only one loss in their last 17 games and firmly establishing themselves as title contenders. This will be a clash between two giants, and one team's streak is bound to end.

Unfortunately, there will be no television broadcast, but you can follow the game live on Sportal.

Cameron Johnson hasn't quite fit into the Colorado franchise's system. He hasn't adapted to playing alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, and it's clear the chemistry isn't there. Consequently, Cam's future in Denver is uncertain, regardless of the upcoming playoff outcome.

The Nuggets will be focused on retaining Peyton Watson, who will be a restricted free agent. This means he can accept an offer from another team, but Denver can match it to keep him. According to NBA insider Mike Scotto, the Nuggets are very likely to do just that.

Because of this, Johnson could potentially be traded.

- How does this affect Cam Johnson? Denver is also concerned with new contracts for Murray, Jokic, and Gordon. The Nuggets will be very close to the second luxury tax apron, and it's possible they'll consider trading Johnson. This is something to watch for Denver. It's all a consequence of the CBA agreement, where talented players often find themselves without a spot due to salary cap constraints.

As Scotto mentioned, under current rules, teams prioritize "clean books" to avoid any penalties for exceeding the salary cap. This might lead to significant roster changes for Denver once again.
