The majority of the big names will be on the sidelines tonight when the short-handed Dallas Mavericks (32-33) take on the San Antonio Spurs (26-36).
No Anthony Davis. No Kyrie Irving. No Victor Wembanyama. The Mavs and the Spurs have struggled without their stars. Each has just three wins in their last ten games.
Dallas is losing its grip on tenth place in the Western Conference. They lost yesterday at home to the Suns, 125-116. The loss allowed Phoenix to pull within 1.5 games of the Mavs in the West. Few expect Dallas to hold onto a spot in the play-in round for much longer.
San Antonio is nowhere near even the tenth seed out West. The Spurs lost their second straight yesterday, losing in Minnesota, 141-124, to drop 4.5 games out of the final spot in the paly-in tournament. Rookie Stephon Castle continues to be a bright spot for the Spurs, though, scoring 20 off the bench against the Timberwolves.
