What to Know

The Spurs will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. Having just played yesterday, they will get right back to it and host the Cleveland Cavaliers at 8:30 p.m. ET on February 3rd at Frost Bank Center. The Spurs are staggering into the game hobbled by three consecutive losses, while the Cavaliers will skip in buoyed by four consecutive wins.

The Spurs traveled a rocky road last season, and unfortunately for them the road hasn't gotten any smoother. They lost 114-113 to New Orleans on a last-minute driving layup From Zion Williamson. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for the Spurs in their matchups with the Pelicans: they've now lost eight in a row.

Even though they lost, the Spurs smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 18 offensive rebounds. That's the most offensive rebounds they've managed all season.

Meanwhile, Cleveland beat the Grizzlies 108-101 on Thursday. That's two games straight that the Cavaliers have won by exactly seven points.

San Antonio's defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 10-39. That poor showing could be blamed on the team's lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 108.0 points per game. As for Cleveland, they are on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 13 games, which provided a massive bump to their 30-16 record this season.

The Spurs couldn't quite finish off the Cavaliers when the teams last played back in January and fell 117-115. Will the Spurs have more luck at home instead of on the road?
