马刺力求在新月份旗开得胜，战胜魔术。
圣安东尼奥马刺赛季的最终篇章已经开启。四月很可能将是我们在十月新赛季开始前，最后一次看到马刺队比赛的月份。圣安东尼奥正经历四连败，距离西部第十的席位还差4.5个胜场。他们将有机会以一场对阵奥兰多魔术的比赛为开端，为这个月以及整个赛季画上一个积极的句号。
魔术队正在为季后赛席位在东部奋力拼搏。他们正在与亚特兰大老鹰争夺东部第7和第8的位置。周一晚上输给洛杉矶快船后，奥兰多将充满动力。圣安东尼奥将拥有休息的优势，这在本赛季到目前为止对他们是有利的。
马刺在今年早些时候以112-111惜败给魔术。奥兰多队的弗朗茨·瓦格纳当晚贡献了33分和12个篮板。圣安东尼奥若想在四月赢得开门红，就需要限制住魔术队的明星侧翼。

魔术伤病名单 ：中部时间下午1点发布伤病报告
看点：
稳定的进攻
这是马刺连续第二场对阵防守强队。勇士队在他们上次的失利中压制了他们。魔术队是NBA中场均失分最少的球队。圣安东尼奥需要来自可靠球员的稳定进攻，才能跟上奥兰多的节奏。这意味着德文·瓦塞尔、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔和凯尔登·约翰逊需要打出好的表现。
防守侧翼
魔术队在侧翼拥有弗朗茨·瓦格纳和保罗·班切罗，他们在侧翼的体型和对抗性都很强。圣安东尼奥需要哈里森·巴恩斯、朱利安·尚帕涅、杰里米·索汉和他们其他的侧翼球员在对阵奥兰多的侧翼时发挥出色。特别是在内线，那里是魔术最大的威胁。奥兰多队的三分球命中率在NBA中排名垫底，仅为31.3%。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs. Orlando Magic
The Spurs look to start the new month strong against the Magic.
The final chapter of the San Antonio Spurs season has begun. April is likely the last month of Spurs basketball we’ll see before the new season begins in October. San Antonio is on a four-game losing streak and is 4.5 games out of the 10th seed in the Western Conference. They’ll have a chance to start the month and end the season on a positive note, starting with a match against the Orlando Magic.
The Magic are fighting for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference. They are battling with the Atlanta Hawks for the 7th and 8th spots in the East. Orlando will be motivated after coming off a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night. San Antonio will have the rest advantage, which has benefitted them so far this season.
The Spurs narrowly lost to the Magic earlier this year, 112-111. Orlando got a 33-point, 12-rebound performance from Franz Wagner that night. San Antonio will need to slow down the Magic’s star wing if they want to start April with a win.

What to watch for:
Consistent offense
This is the second straight game the Spurs have played against strong defenses. The Warriors stifled them in their last loss. The Magic allow the least points per game in the NBA. San Antonio will need consistent offense from reliable sources to keep up with Orlando. That means getting a good game from Devin Vassell, Stephon Castle, and Keldon Johnson.
Guarding the wings
The Magic are big and tough on the wings with Wagner and Paolo Banchero. San Antonio will need Harrison Barnes, Julian Champagnie, Jeremy Sochan, and the rest of their wings to play big against Orlando’s wings. Particularly in the interior where the Magic are the biggest problem. Orlando is last in the NBA in three-point percentage, making just 31.3% of their attempts.
