马刺队今晚将结束漫长的主场比赛，迎来本赛季与湖人的首次交锋。
继又一次被丹佛掘金横扫之后，洛杉矶湖人 在休赛期再次进行了调整，并再次成为全国NBA焦点。他们解雇了执教两个赛季的主教练达尔文·哈姆(Darvin Ham)，换上了声名狼藉的NBA播客JJ·雷迪克(JJ Reddick)，其想法是雷迪克最终能够完全释放勒布朗·詹姆斯(Lebron James)和安东尼·戴维斯(Anthony Davis)这对已经合作5年的二人组的全部潜力。到目前为止，结果好坏参半：在哈姆执教下被批评缺乏想象力的进攻在本赛季初赢得了赞誉，进攻效率排名联盟第6。尽管詹姆斯即将年满40岁，但他仍然保持着自己一贯的水准，但关于辅助阵容的问题依然挥之不去，而且由于经常受伤的戴维斯赛季初就脚伤缠身（足底筋膜炎），湖人能走多远将再次完全取决于詹姆斯的肩膀。
今晚对圣安东尼奥马刺来说，标志着5个主场比赛的结束，考虑到主教练格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)不幸的健康状况，这5个主场比赛总体上是成功的。德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)回来了，看起来就像以前一样，而文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)似乎已经找到了状态，看起来他已经恢复到了奥运会时的状态。目前，他们的战绩是3胜1负，其中两场战胜了与他们情况相似的球队，一场战胜了上赛季赢下46场比赛的萨克拉门托国王队。战胜勒布朗和湖人将真正为这次主场比赛画上一个完美的句号，并可能为11月的剩余比赛定下基调。
圣安东尼奥马刺 (6-6) vs 洛杉矶湖人 (7-4)
2024年11月14日 | 下午6:30 (中部时间)
观看: ESPN | 收听: WOAI (1200 AM)
马刺队伤病 : 特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)，脚踝（缺阵），索汉(Jeremy Sochan)，拇指（缺阵）
湖人队伤病 : 八村塁(Rui Hachimura)，脚踝（每日观察），安东尼·戴维斯，足底筋膜炎（可能出战），杰伦·胡德-斯基菲诺(Jalen Hood-Schifino)，腹股沟（缺阵）
值得关注的点
- 今晚是马刺和湖人参加2024年阿联酋航空NBA杯的第一场小组赛，这是NBA的第二个赛季中锦标赛。小组赛阶段每支球队共进行4场比赛，只有8支球队晋级淘汰赛阶段。
- 不管人们对勒布朗·詹姆斯的看法如何，不可否认的是，他在40岁生日前几周的表现堪称惊艳。在22年的辉煌职业生涯中，詹姆斯可能不再是曾经的运动健将，但他在球场上的表现仍然是围绕NBA的全国性话题的关键部分。在战胜孟菲斯灰熊的比赛中，他砍下35分、12个篮板和14次助攻，这是他连续第三场拿下三双。
- 文班亚马在最近几场比赛中表现出色，其中他在对阵华盛顿奇才的比赛中砍下50分是显而易见的亮点。文班主要在外线得分，尤其是在三分线外，他在马刺的过去三场比赛中每场至少投进六个三分球。今晚他与安东尼·戴维斯的对决将是本次主场比赛中个人对决的最后也是最严峻的考验。
- 洛杉矶新秀道尔顿·克奈特(Dalton Knecht)在周三湖人战胜孟菲斯的比赛中砍下赛季/职业生涯最高的19分，三分球5投5中。
- 马刺新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)在过去的4场比赛中都得分上双，而且自从索汉受伤后他进入首发阵容以来，每场比赛的上场时间都超过了25分钟。年轻的卡斯尔打球的节奏、竞争力和专注力都远远超乎他的年龄，被推到火线上似乎并没有让他感到一丝慌乱。
- 本赛季，湖人队主场6胜0负，但客场只有1胜4负。与此同时，马刺队主场5胜2负。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers
The Spurs wrap-up a lengthy home stay tonight with their first match-up of the season with the Lakers
Following yet another sweep at the hands of Denver Nuggets, the Los Angeles Lakers shook things up yet again during the off-season and have once again been a focus of the national NBA narrative. They dismissed head coach Darvin Ham after two seasons at the helm and replaced him with notorious NBA podcaster JJ Reddick, with the idea being that Reddick would finally be the one to unlock the full potential of the Lebron James - Anthony Davis duo that has been together for 5 years at this point. So far the results have been a mixed bag: The offense, which was criticized as lacking much imagination under Ham, has drawn rave early season reviews, ranking 6th in offensive efficiency. James has largely been his usual self, even as he approaches age 40, but questions about the supporting cast continue to linger, and with the oft-injured Davis coming into the season already nursing a foot injury (plantar fasciitis), how far the Lakers go will once again rest entirely on James’ shoulders.
Tonight for the San Antonio Spurs marks the end of a 5-game home-stand that has been largely successful, especially given the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate health situation of head coach Gregg Popovich. Devin Vassell is back and looking like the Vassell of old, while Victor Wembanyama has seemingly flipped the switch and is looking like he’s gotten back to his Olympic form. As it stands, they’re 3-1, picking up two wins against teams in a similar boat as themselves and 1 against a Sacramento Kings team that won 46 games last season. A win against Lebron and the Lakers would really put an exclamation point on this home-stand and could set the tone for the rest of November.
San Antonio Spurs (6-6) vs Los Angeles Lakers (7-4)
November 14th 2024 | 6:30 PM CT
Watch: ESPN | Listen: WOAI (1200 AM)
Spurs Injuries: Tre Jones, ankle (OUT), Jeremy Sochan, thumb (OUT),
Lakers Injuries: Rui Hachimura, ankle (day to day), Anthony Davis, plantar fasciitis (probable), Jalen Hood-Schifino, groin (OUT)
What to watch for
- Tonight is the first game for both the Spurs and Lakers of the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup, the NBA’s 2nd in-season tournament. Group Play consists of 4 total games for every team, with only 8 teams advancing to the Knockout Round.
- Regardless of how one feels about him, there’s no denying that what Lebron James is doing a few weeks before his 40th birthday is anything other than amazing. 22 years into a rich and storied career, James may not be the athletic dynamo he once was, but his performance on the court is still a key part of the national conversation around the NBA. He’s coming off a 35 point, 12 rebound, 14 assist game in a win against the Memphis Grizzlies, his third straight game with a triple-double.
- Victor Wembanyama has been on an absolute tear these last few games, with the 50 point special that he put up against the Washington Wizards being the obvious high point. Wemby has made his living largely on the perimeter and from beyond the arc in particular, as he’s made at least six 3s in each of the Spurs’ last three games. His match-up tonight with Anthony Davis will be the final and staunchest test of this home-stand as far as individual match-ups go.
- Los Angeles rookie Dalton Knecht notched a season/career-high 19 points in the Lakers win against Memphis on Wednesday, going 5/5 from 3.
- Spurs rookie Stephon Castle has scored in double digits in each of his last 4 games while also cracking the 25 minute mark every game since he was inserted into the starting line-up following the injury to Jeremy Sochan. The young Castle plays with a pace, competitiveness, and focus that is far beyond his years, and being thrown to the fire hasn’t seemed to rattle him one bit.
- This season, the Lakers are 6-0 at home, yet just 1-4 on the road. The Spurs meanwhile are 5-2 at home.
