马刺有机会在面对实力较弱的对手时触底反弹。
距离圣安东尼奥马刺队迎来期待已久的NBA全明星周末假期只剩下两场比赛了。在连续输给夏洛特和奥兰多两支苦苦挣扎的东部球队后，马刺队将前往首都华盛顿，与华盛顿奇才队交手。奇才队目前战绩联盟垫底，且两名交易截止日引进的球员克里斯·米德尔顿和马库斯·斯马特均无法出战。
但这并不意味着马刺队可以轻敌。圣安东尼奥在最近两场比赛中表现挣扎。“牛仔竞技表演之旅”对他们来说并不顺利。他们已经跌至西部联盟积分榜第13位，看起来正步履蹒跚地走向全明星假期。在华盛顿特区取得一场胜利将是重回正轨，并为球队注入信心的好方法。

马刺队伤病情况 ：查尔斯·巴锡 - 缺席（膝盖）、大卫·杜克二世 - 缺席（发展联盟）、哈里森·英格拉姆 - 缺席（发展联盟）、莱利·米尼克斯 - 缺席（发展联盟）
奇才队伤病情况 ：萨迪克·贝 - 缺席（膝盖）、基尚·乔治 - 出战成疑（脚踝）、安东尼·吉尔 - 缺席（脚踝）、克里斯·米德尔顿 - 缺席（未与球队会合）、亚历克斯·萨尔 - 缺席（脚踝）、马库斯·斯马特 - 缺席（手指）
看点：
文班亚马的状态
维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)最近的状态看起来不太对劲。某种疾病让他失去了节奏，而正是这种节奏让他成为了全明星。没有比面对一支身材矮小的奇才队更好的机会来找回状态了。面对华盛顿，他应该在内线占据统治地位，亚历克斯·萨尔因伤缺席比赛。如果文班亚马继续在比赛中游离，那么最近这段时间的表现就令人担忧了。他可能会迎来一场爆发。
俾斯麦·比永博的首秀
圣安东尼奥在上周末与老将俾斯麦·比永博签下了一份10天合同。他将在周一晚上迎来首次身披银黑战袍的机会。马刺队迫切需要一名替补中锋。比永博自上赛季以来就再也没有参加过比赛，但这位老将应该能为球队提供急需的身材和篮板支持。看看米奇·约翰逊会在他的首秀中给比永博多少上场时间将会很有趣。
防守外线
马刺队的外线防守在最近几场比赛中漏洞百出。他们让一些联盟中投篮最差的球队看起来也很出色。奇才队的三分球命中率在NBA中排名第29位，但队中也有像乔丹·普尔这样能突然爆发的球员。无论马刺队面对的是谁，如果他们让对手轻松突破上篮和获得空位三分机会，其他球队都会命中投篮。为了结束连败，防守必须加强。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Washington Wizards
The Spurs get another chance to bounce back against a beatable opponent.
There are just two more games before the San Antonio Spurs get a much-needed break for NBA All-Star weekend. After two straight losses to struggling Eastern Conference squads in Charlotte and Orlando, the Spurs are headed to the nation’s capital for a match with the Washington Wizards. The Wizards have the worst record in the NBA, and are without their two trade deadline acquisitions, Khris Middleton and Marcus Smart.
That doesn’t mean the Spurs can take them lightly. San Antonio has been pushed around in their last two games. The rodeo road trip has not been kind to them so far. They’ve fallen to 13th in the Western Conference standings and look like they are limping to the All-Star break. A win in Washington D.C. would be a good way to get back on track and instill some confidence in the team moving forward.
San Antonio Spurs (22-28) at Washington Wizards (9-43)
February 10th, 2025 | 6 PM CT
Watch: FanDuel Southwest | Listen: WOAI (1200 AM)
Spurs Injuries: Charles Bassey – Out (knee), David Duke Jr. – Out (G League), Harrison Ingram – Out (G League), Riley Minix – Out (G League)
Wizards Injuries: Saddiq Bey – Out (knee), Kyshawn George – Questionable (ankle), Anthony Gil – Out (ankle), Khris Middleton – Out (not with team), Alex Sarr – Out (ankle), Marcus Smart – Out (finger)
What to watch for:
Wembanyama’s condition
Victor Wembanyama hasn’t looked like himself recently. An illness of some sort has knocked him out of the rhythm that made him an All-Star. There is no better opportunity to get on track than against an undersized Wizards squad. He should dominate in the paint against Washington, with Alex Sarr missing the game due to injury. Another game of Wembanyama floating in and out of the game makes this recent stretch borderline concerning. He could have a big game incoming.
Bismack Biyombo’s debut
San Antonio signed the veteran big man, Bismack Biyombo, to a 10-day contract over the weekend. His first chance to suit up in the Silver and Black comes on Monday night. The Spurs desperately need a backup center. Biyombo hasn’t played in a game since last season, but the veteran should give them some much-needed size and rebounding off the bench. It’ll be interesting to see how much run Mitch Johnson gives Biyombo in his first contest.
Defending the perimeter
The Spurs’ perimeter defense has been porous in the last few contests. They made some of the worst shooting teams in the NBA look good. The Wizards are 29th in the NBA in three-point percentage but have players who can get hot, like Jordan Poole. It doesn’t matter who the Spurs are playing, if they give up straight-line drives and open threes, other teams will knock down shots. The defense must step up in order to snap the losing streak.
