Surprisingly, the Spurs' most recent wins were over Phoenix (115-114 and 132-121). Then, the Texas team missed almost 20 points in the fourth quarter against Toronto and lost to the Canadians in overtime - 116-123 (110-110). It broke San Antonio's morale because then they lost five more times - to Indiana (111-152), New York (105-126), Minnesota (110-117), Miami (113-118) and Oklahoma (87-123).
The Spurs' play on defense raises questions - the team's actions on the perimeter resemble shambles. They average of 124.1 conceded points per game - dead last in defensive efficiency.
Sacramento
When San Antonio is on a losing streak, Sacramento is winning. Mike Brown's team has found their groove and has won four matches. During that stretch, the Kings have beaten Portland (121-118, 110-110 in overtime), Oklahoma (105-98) and Cleveland (132-120) at home and the Los Angeles Lakers 125-110 on the road.
Note D'Aaron Fox's return from injury. In five games in this championship, the guard averages 30.0 points per game. He is the main reason the Kings have been so hot on offense lately.
Expert Betting Tips
After the loss to Oklahoma, Gregg Popovich had some motivational words for his team at the press conference. That message will get through to the players, and they will do better against Sacramento than they did against the Thunder. But they're still unlikely to win. Sacramento is too good right now, directly related to the excellent play of D'Aaron Fox. We think the Spurs, who have the worst defense in the league, will not match the Kings' defense.
