圣安东尼奥希望在惨败给黄蜂队后有所反弹。
对于圣安东尼奥马刺队来说，这趟“牛仔竞技之旅”到目前为止并不顺利。在周五以令人心碎的方式输给夏洛特黄蜂队后，他们的战绩为1胜2负。维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)生病了，现在他们必须连夜前往佛罗里达，参加与奥兰多魔术队的比赛。马刺队可能需要施个魔法，才能消除目前这趟客场之旅带来的糟糕气氛。
魔术队目前也同样处境艰难，他们在过去的12场比赛中输掉了10场。奥兰多很可能缺少他们的首发防守后卫杰伦·萨格斯(Jalen Suggs)，他很有可能缺席周六的比赛。魔术队是一支防守强悍的球队，但在进攻端还没有完全找到感觉。凭借弗朗茨·瓦格纳(Franz Wagner)和保罗·班凯罗(Paolo Banchero)，奥兰多拥有NBA中最令人兴奋的年轻二人组之一，他们将凭借他们的体型给马刺队制造一些麻烦。
圣安东尼奥将再次依靠新近加盟的达龙·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)来领导球队，同时文班亚马从疾病中恢复。

马刺队伤病情况 ：伤病报告需要到中部时间下午1点才能提交。
魔术队伤病情况 ：麦克·麦克朗(Mac McClung) - 缺席（发展联盟），杰伦·萨格斯 - 出战成疑（股四头肌），莫里茨·瓦格纳(Moritz Wagner) - 缺席（膝盖）
看点：
体型错位
马刺队在体型上不占优势的情况并不常见。拥有一位7尺5寸的“独角兽”通常可以确保这种情况不会发生。但魔术队体型高大且身体对抗性强。他们可以同时派上多名身高超过6尺8寸的球员，包括班凯罗、瓦格纳、乔纳森·艾萨克(Jonathan Isaac)、戈加·比塔泽(Goga Bitadze)和/或温德尔·卡特(Wendell Carter Jr.)。自从交易得到福克斯后，圣安东尼奥选择或被迫打小个阵容。克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)与福克斯搭档首发，将瓦塞尔移到前锋位置，并将斯蒂芬·卡斯尔和杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)等身材更高大的防守球员放在替补席上。查尔斯·巴锡(Charles Bassey)的受伤意味着当文班缺席时，马刺队不得不让索汉打五号位，从而打小球。这可能会在内线对抗体型庞大的魔术队时造成一些问题。
专注防守
奥兰多目前的进攻并不出色。他们的场均得分、场均三分球命中数和三分球命中率都排在NBA垫底。黄蜂队也是一支进攻不佳的球队，但他们在周五却让马刺队失分不少。如果圣安东尼奥想要击败奥兰多，就必须在防守端专注起来。他们的防守实力足以避免陷入一场拉锯战。在进攻端保护好球权的同时，在防守端连续阻止对手得分将是击败魔术队的关键。
从侧翼获得更多贡献
马刺队的侧翼球员整个赛季的表现都不稳定。哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)和索汉（显然他现在是一名中锋）表现稳定，但凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)、朱利安·尚帕涅(Julian Champagnie)和瓦塞尔的表现都起伏不定。瓦塞尔在对阵黄蜂队的比赛中投篮手感火热，马刺队需要在奥兰多继续保持这种状态。他们从后卫和大个子那里获得了不错的贡献。摇摆人也需要尽自己的一份力量。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Orlando Magic
San Antonio looks to bounce back after a tough loss to the Hornets.
The rodeo road trip has not been kind to the San Antonio Spurs so far. They are 1-2 on the trip after a heartbreaking loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Friday, Victor Wembanyama is sick, and now they must travel overnight to Florida for a game against the Orlando Magic. The Spurs may need to cast a spell to remove the bad vibes from their current road trip.
The Magic are similarly struggling right now, as they’ve lost 10 of their last 12 games. Orlando will likely be without their starting defensive guard, Jalen Suggs, who is doubtful for Saturday’s contest. The Magic are a tough defensive team that hasn’t quite figured it out on the offensive end. With Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero, Orlando has one of the most exciting young duos in the NBA and will create some issues for the Spurs with their size.
San Antonio will once again rely on the newly acquired De’Aaron Fox to lead them while Wembanyama recovers from sickness.
San Antonio Spurs (22-27) at Orlando Magic (25-28)
February 8th, 2025 | 6 PM CT
Watch: FanDuel Southwest | Listen: WOAI (1200 AM)
Spurs Injuries: The injury report doesn’t need to be filed until 1 p.m. CT
Magic Injuries: Mac McClung – Out (G League), Jalen Suggs – Doubtful (quad), Moritz Wagner – Out (knee)
What to watch for:
Size mismatch
It’s not often that the Spurs are outsized. Having a 7-foot-5 unicorn typically ensures that doesn’t happen. But the Magic are big and they are physical. They can play multiple players above 6-foot-8 at a time with Banchero, Wagner, Jonathan Isaac, Goga Bitadze, and/or Wendell Carter Jr. Since trading for Fox, San Antonio has elected, or been forced to, play small. Chris Paul is starting next to Fox, moving Vassell to a forward position and sending longer defensive players like Stephon Castle and Jeremy Sochan to the bench. The Charles Bassey injury means the Spurs have to play small ball with Sochan at the five when Wemby sits. This could create some issues inside against a big Magic squad.
Locking in defensively
Orlando is not a good offensive team right now. They are last in the NBA in points scored per game, three-pointers made per game, and three-point percentage. The Hornets are also a bad offensive team, and they lit up the Spurs on Friday. San Antonio has to lock in on the defensive end if they want to take down Orlando. Their defense is too good to get into a slugfest. Stringing stops together while taking care of the ball on the other end will be key to taking down the Magic.
Getting more from the wings
The Spurs’ wings have been inconsistent all season long. Harrison Barnes and Sochan (who is now a center, apparently) have been solid, but Keldon Johnson, Julian Champagnie, and Vassell have all been up and down. Vassell is coming off a hot shooting night against Charlotte, and the Spurs need that to continue in Orlando. They are getting good production from the guards and bigs. The swingmen need to do their part.
