The Spurs have continued floundering down the stretch of close contests this season, and as a result, slipped further down the Western Conference standings and into 13th place. San Antonio desperately needs to turn their fortunes around soon if they want to avoid falling into an insuperable hole, and they’ll have a perfect opportunity to do so as they host the Kings on Wednesday night to kick off a two-game homestand.
Sacramento sits just 1.5 games ahead of the Silver and Black heading into this matchup, but the good guys shouldn’t underestimate their chronically dysfunctional opponent. Luke Walton has his Northern California ball club playing well on both ends of the floor right now despite a shaky start from De’Aaron Fox.
