After a disastrous blowout loss against the Nets and a painful last-second defeat against the Knicks, the Spurs are back in San Antonio following a terrible trip to New York. It will be the first game with Devin Vassell officially out indefinitely, so all eyes will be on the Silver and Black to see how they respond.
The Pistons are as good of an opponent to face under dire circumstances as there is in the NBA. Even after a buzzer-beating win against the Warriors, they have a worse record than the Spurs and have a high-profile absence of their own, as Cade Cunningham is out for the season.
