The San Antonio Spurs are in the final stretch of their topsy turvy season. With 14 games left, they’re 29-29 and close to securing the 10th seed to at least get a chance to play into the NBA playoffs.

The most important game of their shortened season will undoubtedly be their showdown with the New Orleans Pelicans Saturday night, who could make up a full game of their 3.5 game deficit to the Spurs. San Antonio is sitting right at the play-in cutoff, as only the 9th and 10th seeds get a chance to take over a playoff spot.
