马刺队力求在加拿大延续他们的连胜势头。
尽管失去了两位最好的球员（因伤），圣安东尼奥马刺队却打出了他们本赛季最佳的篮球表现。马刺队已经取得了2连胜，现在将前往客场对阵多伦多猛龙。猛龙队的伤病名单也很长。圣安东尼奥可以利用这个机会，好好教训一下这支苦苦挣扎的东部联盟球队。
这是马刺队和猛龙队本赛季的首次交锋。两支球队目前都在附加赛资格之外。如果圣安东尼奥再赢一场，他们将有机会超越波特兰开拓者，升至西部联盟第12位，距离第十名仅差两个胜场。
如果马刺队能够保持过去几场比赛的水平，他们最终或许能够参与到附加赛的竞争中。

马刺队伤病情况 ： 文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) - 缺席（肩部），Charles Bassey - 缺席（膝盖），De’Aaron Fox - 缺席（手指），Riley Minix - 缺席（发展联盟），Harrison Ingram - 缺席（发展联盟），David Duke Jr. - 缺席（发展联盟）
猛龙队伤病情况 ：Ulrich Chomche - 缺席（膝盖），Gradey Dick - 缺席（膝盖），Brandom Ingram - 缺席（脚踝），Jakob Poeltl - 缺席（轮休），Immanuel Quickley - 缺席（轮休），A.J. Lawson - 缺席（发展联盟），Jared Rhoden - 缺席（发展联盟），Ja’Kobe Walter - 出战成疑（髋屈肌）
看点：
侧翼球员的表现
圣安东尼奥最近的侧翼球员表现出色。Harrison Barnes、 杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan)、Devin Vassell和Keldon Johnson都是他们队中表现最好的球员。猛龙队拥有强硬的摇摆人R.J. Barrett和Scottie Barnes，他们将会给马刺队带来不小的麻烦。如果马刺队的侧翼球员能够再次打出稳健的表现，那么比赛的天平可能会向他们倾斜。
布雷克·韦斯利的板凳活力
马刺队赛季末阵容轮换的最大亮点之一是三年级后卫 布雷克·韦斯利 (Blake Wesley)。这位控球后卫在进攻端具有极强的侵略性，并且在进攻端也发挥了积极作用。韦斯利是否会成为马刺队长期计划的一部分仍然是个问题，但毫无疑问，在过去的几场比赛中，他一直是球队中最具影响力的球员之一。
卡位和防守篮板
多伦多在很多方面都表现不佳，但在进攻篮板方面却很出色。猛龙队以场均12.4个进攻篮板排名NBA第6位。即使没有Poeltl，马刺队也需要在篮板球方面付出团队努力才能与他们竞争。如果马刺队能够限制猛龙队抢到进攻篮板，他们将有机会带着一场胜利离开加拿大。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Toronto Raptors
The Spurs look to continue their winning streak in Canada.
Despite losing two of their best players to injury, the San Antonio Spurs are playing some of their best basketball. The Spurs have won two straight games and now will hit the road for a matchup with the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors also have a long injury report. San Antonio can take advantage of their struggling Eastern Conference foes.
This marks the first game between the Spurs and Raptors this season. Both teams are on the outside looking in of the play-in tournament. Another win for San Antonio would put them in position to leap over the Portland Trail Blazers for 12th in the Western Conference and just two games out of the tenth seed.
If the Spurs can keep up their level of play from the last few games, they may end up competing for the play-in tournament after all.

What to watch for:
Wing play
San Antonio has gotten good play out of their wings lately. Harrison Barnes, Jeremy Sochan, Devin Vassell, and Keldon Johnson have been some of their best players. The Raptors have tough swingmen in R.J. Barrett and Scottie Barnes, who will give the Spurs a tough time. Another solid outing from the Spurs’ wings could swing the game in their favor.
Blake Wesley’s bench energy
One of the biggest revolutions of the Spur’s late-season rotation has been third-year guard Blake Wesley. The point guard has been disruptive at the point of attack and a positive factor on the offensive end. Whether or not Wesley factors into the Spurs’ long-term plans is still in question, but there’s no doubt that he’s been one of the most impactful players on the team throughout their last few games.
Boxing out and the defensive glass
Toronto isn’t great at a lot, but they are strong on the offensive glass. The Raptors rank 6th in the NBA in offensive rebounds with 12.4 a game. The Spurs will need a team effort on the boards to compete with them, even without Poeltl. If the Spurs can keep the Raptors off the glass, they should have a chance to leave Canada with a win.
