What to Know
The San Antonio Spurs are 15-5 against the Sacramento Kings since November of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Wednesday. San Antonio will take on Sacramento at 8:30 p.m. ET at AT&T Center after having had a few days off. The Spurs are expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the game prepared for a fight.
San Antonio was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Sunday as they fell 99-94 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. San Antonio was up 28-14 at the end of the first quarter but couldn't hold on to the lead. One thing holding San Antonio back was the mediocre play of point guard Derrick White, who did not have his best game: he played for 26 minutes but put up just zero points on 0-for-10 shooting.
Meanwhile, the Kings were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Monday as they fell 109-104 to the Phoenix Suns. Sacramento was down 98-76 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Despite the loss, they got a solid performance out of small forward Harrison Barnes, who had 26 points in addition to six rebounds.
Both teams will surely be fighting tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses this week. Check back to see which squad is able to work their way into the win column.
