Brooklyn Nets vs San Antonio Spurs
PREVIEW: The San Antonio Spurs, sitting at 42-16 and second in the Western Conference, will look to extend their 10-game winning streak when they visit the Brooklyn Nets, who sit at 15-42 in 14th place in the East. San Antonio arrives on the second night of a back-to-back after a fourth-quarter comeback against Toronto, facing short rest against a struggling Brooklyn squad. The Spurs boast an impressive 21-10 record on the road , positioning them well for success in this matchup. Meanwhile, the Nets have struggled mightily at home with an 8-20 mark and are just 10-28 in games decided by double digits.
Both teams currently lack available ShotQuality data for this contest. Victor Wembanyama has been spectacular recently, averaging 23.6 points and 11.6 rebounds while shooting an impressive 50.3 percent over the past 10 games. Brooklyn struggles with ball security, turning it over 15.5 times per game, and San Antonio's aggressive perimeter defense with Wembanyama patrolling the paint should exploit this weakness, with De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle looking to pressure passing lanes. The Nets plan to attack Wembanyama with physicality inside, a strategy that worked for Detroit and Toronto, with Nic Claxton and Day'Ron Sharpe providing the necessary interior muscle for Brooklyn's defensive approach.
