Five things to watch: Spurs versus Nuggets

Can the Spurs beat the defending NBA champs tonight in Austin?

SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs (14-52) will host the Denver Nuggets (46-20). This will be the Spurs' first game in Austin, Texas, as part of the franchise's "I-35 Series."

GAME REWIND

The Spurs are coming off a home loss versus the Rockets, 103-101.

Victor Wembanyama finished with 13 points and ten rebounds. Malaki Branham scored four points and one rebound, and Zach Collins added seven. Devin Vassell had six points in the loss, and Keldon Johnson sat out due to an illness.

"We didn't shoot well in that first half from three but we hung in the second half. Went back and forth but as is usual in the NBA, down the stretch, you got to make shots," said Spurs' Gregg Popovich. "(Dillon) Brooks made two threes in a row down there, which gave them a little bit of a separation and that's what it's all about at the end of games."

INJURY REPORT

The Spurs have also recalled rookie Sidy Cissoko from the Austin Spurs.
