The 10th seeded San Antonio Spurs (25-33) begin a back-to-back against the gritty Indiana Pacers (36-24). The Spurs escaped with a victory against the Orlando Magic on Saturday night in what felt like a desperation win.
Tonight, the Spurs have a tougher matchup against the sixth-seeded Pacers. The Pacers have currently won five out of their last six games by averaging 109.3 points while allowing a mere 107.1 points.
The Spurs will need the similar shooting they had on Saturday night that propelled them to victory. They shot 52.4% from the field as a team without lead big-man LaMarcus Aldridge, who is currently listed as ‘doubtful‘ for tonight’s matchup with a shoulder injury.
