(Sports Network) - The San Antonio Spurs try and climb above the .500 mark for the first time this season when they welcome Denver to the Alamo City on Wednesday.

Roger Mason scored 21 points, including the go-ahead three-pointer with 8.4 seconds left in the game, to lead the streaking Spurs in an 86-83 victory over the struggling Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.

Tim Duncan added 20 points, 15 rebounds and four assists for the Spurs, who have won a season-high three games in a row. Michael Finley had 19 points in the win for San Antonio, which continues to play without banged-up veterans Manu Ginobili (ankle) and Tony Parker (ankle).

The Nuggets remained red-hot on Tuesday when Linas Kleiza scored a season-high 25 points in a reserve role, guiding Denver to a 114-105 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at the Pepsi Center.

Carmelo Anthony had 17 points and Nene scored 13 for the Nuggets, who have won three in a row and six of seven.

Chauncey Billups, acquired in the Allen Iverson deal to Detroit, scored 11 and dished out five assists as the Nuggets continued to progress from the Nov. 3 blockbuster deal.

Dahntay Jones chipped in 15 points, while Renaldo Balkman and Kenyon Martin each scored 10 in the victory, Denver's 10th in the last 12 meetings with the Bucks.

Balkman is questionable for tonight's game with a sprained right ankle.

The Nuggets and Spurs spilt a four-game season series last season.
