马刺队希望延续对阵强硬活塞队的连胜纪录。
圣安东尼奥马刺队目前打出了本赛季最佳状态。球队正处于本赛季第二次三连胜期间，而且这次是在他们的两位球星，维克托·文班亚马和达龙·福克斯缺阵的情况下取得的。球队在赛季末奋起直追，力求强势收官。他们的三连胜主要来自其他摆烂或者伤病缠身的球队。周二与底特律活塞队的比赛将是一场真正的考验。
活塞队以稳固的防守和平均水平的进攻排在东部联盟第六位。他们喜欢快速的比赛节奏（NBA前五），并且不会向任何对手退缩。值得注意的是，他们的全明星球员，凯德·坎宁安(Cade Cunningham)因小腿挫伤而可能缺席周二的比赛。如果没有坎宁安，活塞队将像马刺队一样，依靠他们充满活力的年轻核心。
圣安东尼奥距离西部第十仅差三场比赛，还剩下 12 场比赛要打。战胜底特律并取得四连胜将使他们保持在附加赛的竞争行列中。马刺队仍然有战斗力，他们需要用它来对抗活塞队。

马刺队伤病名单 ：斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle) – 出战成疑（膝盖）、维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama) – 缺席（肩部）、查尔斯·巴锡(Charles Bassey) – 缺席（膝盖）、达龙·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox) – 缺席（手指）、莱利·米尼克斯(Riley Minix) – 缺席（发展联盟）、哈里森·英格拉姆(Harrison Ingram) – 缺席（发展联盟）、小大卫·杜克(David Duke Jr.) – 缺席（发展联盟）
活塞队伤病名单 ：凯德·坎宁安(Cade Cunningham) – 出战成疑（小腿）、小蒂姆·哈达威(Tim Hardaway Jr.) – 出战成疑（脚踝）、小罗恩·哈珀(Ron Harper Jr.) – 缺席（发展联盟）、杰登·艾维(Jaden Ivey) – 缺席（腓骨）、丹尼斯·詹金斯(Daniss Jenkins) – 缺席（发展联盟）、博比·克林特曼(Bobi Klintman) – 缺席（发展联盟）、托卢·史密斯(Tolu Smith) – 缺席（发展联盟）
看点：
身体对抗
活塞队还算不上当年的“坏孩子军团”，但也相差不远。罗恩·霍兰德(Ron Holland)、以赛亚·斯图尔特(Isaiah Stewart)以及底特律的其他球员打着强硬、充满身体对抗的篮球，这会让他们的对手感到不舒服。圣安东尼奥必须迎战这种力量。看到杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)与这支球队发生一两次冲突也就不足为奇了。马刺队需要在内线和篮板上与底特律抗衡，才能留在比赛中。
三分球
活塞队防守的弱点在于三分线。他们在对手三分球命中率和三分球出手次数方面都排在联盟后半段。圣安东尼奥在他们的连胜期间做得很好，他们拉开了球队的阵型，并通过他们的小球战术投进了球。底特律也可以打小球和快球，但他们会放弃一些使他们在防守端如此危险的内线侵略性。投进一些远距离投篮应该能够拉开活塞队的阵型，并为马刺队带来优势。
索汉坚守阵线
马刺队这位三年级的瑞士军刀球员在对阵底特律的比赛中肩负重任。他将不得不以内线代中锋的身份面对贾伦·杜伦(Jalen Duren)和斯图尔特。他过去在与其他强硬内线球员（例如卡尔·安东尼-唐斯(Karl Anthony-Towns)）的对抗中表现出色。再一次超出身材的发挥将是马刺队与活塞队竞争所需要的。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Detroit Pistons
The Spurs look to extend their winning streak against the tough Pistons.
The San Antonio Spurs are playing some of their best basketball right now. The team is on its second three-game winning streak of the season, this time without their two stars, Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox. The team has rallied late in the season to finish strong. Their three-game winning streak has come mostly against other tanking or injured teams. Tuesday’s game with the Detroit Pistons will be a real test.
The Pistons are 6th in the Eastern Conference with a rock-solid defense and an average offense. They like to play fast (top-5 in the NBA in pace) and don’t back down to any opponent. Notably, their All-Star, Cade Cunningham, is questionable for Tuesday’s game with a calf contusion. Without Cunningham, the Pistons will rely on their scrappy young core, much like the Spurs.
San Antonio is three games out of the 10th seed with 12 games to go. A win against Detroit and a four-game winning streak would keep them in contention for a Play-In spot. The Spurs still have some fight left in them, and they’ll need it against the Pistons.

What to watch for:
Physicality
The Pistons aren’t quite the Bad Boys, but they are close. Ron Holland, Isaiah Stewart, and the rest of Detroit play tough, physical basketball that can get under the skin of their opponents. San Antonio has to meet that force. It would not be shocking to see a Jeremy Sochan scuffle or two against this team. The Spurs need to hold their own in the paint and on the boards against Detroit to stay in the game.
Knocking down threes
The Pistons defensive weakness comes at the three-point line. They are in the bottom half of the league in opponent three-point percentage and threes allowed. San Antonio has done a good job during their winning streak of spreading teams out and knocking down shots with their small-ball approach. Detroit can play small and fast, too, but they will give up some of the paint aggression that makes them so dangerous defensively. Knocking down some deep shots should spread out the Pistons and give the Spurs an edge.
Sochan holds the line
The Spurs’ third-year Swiss army man has a tall task on his hands against Detroit. He’ll have to deal with Jalen Duren and Stewart on the interior as San Antonio’s de facto center. He’s done a good job of competing with other tough big men like Karl Anthony-Towns in the past. Another bigger-than-his-body performance would be just what the Spurs need to compete with the Pistons.
