• The spread for the game is Denver by 2.5 points.

• Point guard Jamal Murray scored 21 points in the win over Milwaukee after failing to reach the 20-point mark in six of the previous seven contests. Power forward Paul Millsap registered 20 points and 10 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season and first since Feb. 8. All-Star center Nikola Jokic has struggled the past two games by averaging nine points while making just 8-of-24 field-goal attempts and hasn’t reached the 20-point mark since tallying 23 against the Toronto Raptors on March 1.

• Doncic knows his club has experienced some rough spots, but Dallas still sits in seventh place in the Western Conference and is 6 1/2 games ahead of the eighth-place Memphis Grizzlies. “I’m not worried at all,” Doncic told reporters after the loss to the Spurs. “At the beginning of the season people had us out of playoffs and we showed that we can be in the playoffs. As of now, we are in the playoffs. It’s a long way, but I think we are going to make the playoffs. I’m not worried.” Shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 20 points against San Antonio and is averaging 23.5 points over the last four contests.

• Denver backup F Jerami Grant scored 19 points against Milwaukee after averaging seven over the previous three contests.
