PREVIEW:
The San Antonio Spurs aim to continue their impressive early-season momentum as they host the Toronto Raptors in a Monday night matchup at Frost Bank Center. San Antonio has opened the new season in impressive fashion, securing three straight wins and looking to extend that streak. Victor Wembanyama has been particularly eager, posting a double-double in each of his first three games, with his most recent performance featuring 31 points and 14 assists. The Spurs are also receiving solid contributions from Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, and rookie Dylan Harper, who are all averaging double-digit scoring.
The Toronto Raptors currently hold a 1-2 record and are showing potential, though they are dealing with some inconsistency, particularly in their three-point shooting and defensive strategies. Their offense is led by Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes, who have the full trust of head coach Darko Rajakovic, with Barnes looking to build on his previous season's success. Ingram is currently averaging 22.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, while Immanuel Quickley is contributing 8 assists. Notably, in their last season's encounters, San Antonio won all three games against Toronto.
