本赛季马刺和尼克斯的最后一次交锋
纽约尼克斯带着总冠军的雄心进入本赛季，这源于上赛季令人兴奋但阵容不整的季后赛之旅，最终他们在第二轮抢七大战中输给了印第安纳步行者。在很大程度上，他们度过了一个成功的赛季，只有五支球队的战绩优于他们的43胜24负。然而，尽管如此，人们仍然认为纽约队比波士顿凯尔特人和俄克拉荷马城雷霆等球队稍逊一筹。自从3月6日因脚踝受伤缺席以来，他们一直没有他们的全明星后卫和领袖杰伦·布伦森。但在他缺席的情况下，球队取得了3胜2负的战绩。
与此同时，圣安东尼奥马刺在前往洛杉矶与湖人进行补赛后，今晚重返主场。这支银黑军团正在艰难地走向终点线，经常发现自己人手不足，实力不济。不过，他们仍在继续竞争，而且自全明星赛后以来，他们的表现也超出预期。

马刺伤病情况 ：维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)，缺席，达龙·福克斯，缺席，查尔斯·贝西，缺席
尼克斯伤病情况：杰伦·布伦森，脚踝（缺席），米切尔·罗宾逊，脚踝（出战成疑）
看点
- 卡尔-安东尼·唐斯(Karl-Anthony Towns)在“大苹果城”的第一个赛季打出了职业生涯最佳表现。他完美地融入球队，既是第二得分点，也是布伦森可靠的挡拆进攻选择。唐斯的三分球命中率接近43%，同时场均抢下职业生涯最高的13个篮板，这一数据仅次于多曼塔斯·萨博尼斯的场均13.9个篮板，位列联盟第二。
- 尼克斯队为了从布鲁克林篮网得到米卡尔·布里奇斯，付出了五个首轮选秀权。在许多人看来，这是纽约队为了改善侧翼轮换，更好地与波士顿的杰森·塔图姆和杰伦·布朗的组合相抗衡而采取的必要措施。布里奇斯度过了非常出色的一年，是尼克斯队本赛季唯一一位参加了所有比赛的首发球员。他的防守多面性在本赛季得到了充分展现，但他在进攻端的贡献并没有让人眼前一亮。面对凯尔特人和克利夫兰骑士，尼克斯队本赛季都未能击败这两支球队，他们需要布里奇斯成为一个可靠的进攻选择。
- 克里斯·保罗有望打出自他效力于菲尼克斯太阳的第一个赛季（2020-2021）以来最多的常规赛场次，当时他出战了70场比赛。今晚将是他本赛季的第68场比赛。保罗在过去的7场比赛中都没有得分上双。
- 约什·哈特真的可以被认为是这支尼克斯队的心脏和灵魂，他作为一名矮个篮板手、拼抢者以及一名积极主动的防守球员，为球队定下了基调。随着米切尔·罗宾逊最近才迎来赛季首秀，哈特全年都被汤姆·锡伯杜安排在了首发阵容中。在进攻端，他没有最稳定的跳投，但他愿意埋头突破上篮，或者运球组织，为他的队友创造良好的机会。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs New York Knicks
The Spurs and Knicks meet for the final time this season
The New York Knicks came into this season with championship aspirations after an exciting but shorthanded playoff run last season that ended in a second round Game 7 loss to the Indiana Pacers. For the most part they’ve had a successful season, and only five teams have a better record than their own 43-24 campaign. However in spite of all that, there’s a belief that New York is a notch below teams like the Boston Celtics and the Oklahoma City Thunder when discussing the championship pecking order. They’ve been without their All Star guard and leader Jalen Brunson since March 6th due to an ankle injury, but have gone 3-2 in his absence.
The San Antonio Spurs meanwhile return home tonight after a quick trip to Los Angeles for a make-up game with the Lakers. The Silver and Black are slogging their way to the finish line, often finding themselves undermanned and outmatched. Still though they continue to compete and with the way things have gone since the All Star break, there’s not a whole lot else anyone could ask of them.

Spurs Injuries: Victor Wembanyama, OUT, De’Aaron Fox, OUT, Charles Bassey, OUT
Knicks Injuries: Jalen Brunson, ankle (OUT), Mitchell Robinson, ankle (questionable)
What to watch for
- Karl-Anthony Towns has had a career year his first season in the Big Apple. He’s slotted in perfectly as both a secondary scorer and a reliable pick and pop option with Brunson. Towns is shooting nearly 43% from downtown while also averaging a career-best 13 rebounds a game, a mark that ranks 2nd behind just Domantes Sabonis’ 13.9 boards a night.
- The Knicks gave up five 1st round picks to acquire Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets in the offseason. In many ways, it was viewed as New York taking a necessary step to improve their wing rotation and better match-up with Boston’s tandem of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Bridges has had a really good year, the only Knick starter to appear in every game this season. His defensive versatility has been on display all season long, but his contributions on offense haven’t really wowed anybody this year. Against the Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, both of whom the Knicks have failed to beat this season, they’ll need him to be a reliable offensive option.
- Chris Paul is on pace to play his most regular season games since he suited up in 70 contests his first year with the Phoenix Suns (2020-2021). Tonight will mark his 68th game of the season. Paul has failed to score in double figures in each of his last 7 games.
- Josh Hart could really be considered the heart and soul of this Knicks team, setting the tone as an undersized rebounder, hustler, and as an aggressive and very willing defensive player. With Mitchell Robinson only just recently making his season debut, Hart has been plugged into Tom Thibadeau’s starting line-up for the entire year. On offense, he doesn’t have the most reliable jumper, but he’s willing to put his head down and drive to the cup or put the ball on the floor as a way set-up his teammates for good looks.
