在很多方面，圣安东尼奥马刺队和奥兰多魔术队都是发展轨迹相似的同类球队。在经历了（部分由于）前核心球员的出走所导致的多年阵痛后，他们都通过连续两年的状元签找到了新的建队核心，并以此为基础进行重建。随着维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和保罗·班凯罗 (Paolo Banchero) 成长为全明星球员，两队都分别引进了德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 和德斯蒙德·贝恩 (Desmond Bane) 这样能够分担重任、内外线都具备威胁的老将控卫，并且双方都在他们身后建立了足够的阵容深度，以期重返季后赛行列，并有望早日成为冠军争夺者。
本赛季两队的另一个相似之处在于，尽管都因前述的建队核心遭遇顽固伤病（文班的小腿伤势和班凯罗的腹股沟伤势）而缺阵，但他们都找到了持续赢球的方法。在核心缺席的情况下，团队中的其他成员都挺身而出，马刺队的哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)、德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 和凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 以及魔术队的弗朗茨·瓦格纳 (Franz Wagner) 和杰伦·萨格斯 (Jalen Suggs) 都出色地填补了空缺，并带领各自球队在NBA杯中赢得了小组赛头名。
现在，这两支相似的球队将在本赛季首次交锋，不过两队的相似之处也仅限于此，他们的比赛风格迥然不同。魔术队能否利用巨大的体能优势以及马刺队缺少联盟最佳护筐者的机会？还是投射更准的马刺队能凭借三分球击败这支联盟外线投射最差的球队之一？敬请关注比赛，揭晓答案！

马刺队伤情 : 伤病报告将在下午1:30公布，但我们可以预计至少维克托·文班亚马（小腿）、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔（臀部）和乔丹·麦克劳克林 (Jordan McLaughlin)（腿筋）将缺阵

比赛看点
- 体能劣势 — 背靠背比赛从来都不轻松。它能让球员、球迷乃至撰稿人都筋疲力尽。（没错，说的就是我！）而最糟糕的背靠背，不仅是你的球队在体能上处于劣势，更是因为时差还要减少一小时的休息时间。马刺队在周二刚刚结束一趟四连客之旅，回到圣安东尼奥主场迎战灰熊队后，不仅要立刻再次登上飞机开启新的四连客，而且由于向东飞往佛罗里达，他们还损失了一小时的休息时间。好消息是，这支马刺队年轻、阵容深厚且充满活力，但魔术队在周一主场战胜公牛队后，将以逸待劳、精力充沛。
- 三分优势，或许？ — 本赛季马刺队的三分球表现处于联盟中游水平，以35.7%的命中率正好排在联盟第15位。然而，他们常常在三分球这项上处于下风，因为他们不擅长防守三分——他们自己也清楚这一点，无论是轮转换位、沟通还是扑防都做得不好。另一方面，魔术队在三分投射和防守两端都表现不佳，这两项数据都排在联盟第23位。当然，这是否能真正转化为马刺队的优势还很难说（感觉即便是投射糟糕的球队在面对他们时也总能迎来爆发），但如果他们能妥善利用这一点，将有助于抵消体能上的劣势。
- 内线防守 — 如果魔术队的三分球如此糟糕，那为何在没有班凯罗的情况下近期排名还能攀升？答案很简单：内线得分。在他们最近的三场胜利中，他们场均内线得分高达60分，并且总内线得分排在联盟第三，这也为他们带来了场均联盟最高的30.8次罚球。尽管卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 在文班缺阵期间表现值得称赞，但那种让对手不敢轻易在篮下出手的威慑力依然缺失，奥兰多将会毫无畏惧地冲击内线。马刺队的防守必须在弥补自身防三分的弱点与避免过度协防或被投篮假动作欺骗之间找到正确的平衡，因为后者会为对手打开突破路线，而这正是魔术队的最大优势所在。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Orlando Magic
In a lot of ways, the San Antonio Spurs and Orlando Magic are similar teams on a similar trajectory. After years of suffering caused (in part) by betrayal from previous franchise players, they both found new ones with the top overall pick in consecutive years and have been building from there. As Victor Wembanyama and Paolo Banchero have grown into All-Stars, both have added veteran point guards who are threats inside and out to help carry the load in De’Aaron Fox and Desmond Bane, respectively, and both teams have built up plenty of depth behind them to move back into the playoff race and, hopefully, title contention sooner than later.
Another similarity this season is they’ve both found ways to keep winning despite losing those aforementioned franchise players to stubborn injuries (Wemby’s calf and Banchero’s groin). In their places, the committees have stepped up, with veterans like Harrison Barnes, Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson for the Spurs and Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs for the Magic filling in admirably while leading each team to win their respective groups in the NBA Cup.
Now, those two similar teams clash for the first time this season, although the similarities end at style of play. Can the Magic take advantage of a big rest advantage and the Spurs missing the best paint defender in the league, or can the more accurate Spurs win it from three against one of the worst outside shooting teams in the league? Tune in to find out!
San Antonio Spurs (14-6) at Orlando Magic (13-8)

Watch: FanDuel SW | Listen: WOAI (1200 AM)
Spurs Injuries: Not due until 1:30 PM, but we can assume at least Victor Wembanyama (calf), Stephon Castle (hip) and Jordan McLaughlin (hamstring) are out
Magic Injuries: Paolo Banchero — out (groin); Mortiz Wagner — out (knee); Colin Castleton — out (hand)
What to watch for
- Rest disadvantage — Back-to-backs are never fun. They can be exhausting for players, fans, and even writers. (Hello, there!) The worst type of b2b is not only when your team is at a rest disadvantage, but when it’s compounded by losing an hour. After playing the Grizzlies in San Antonio on Tuesday — right after returning from a four-game road trip — the Spurs not only had to get right back on a plane for another 4-game road trip, but they also lose an hour of rest by heading East to Florida. The good news is these Spurs are young, deep and energetic, but the Magic will still be fresh and well rested after a home win against the Bulls on Monday.
- Three-point advantage, maybe? — The Spurs have been a middle-of-the-road three-pointing shooting team this season, sitting at exactly 15th in the league at 35.7%. However, they often find themselves at a disadvantage in that category because they are bad at defending the three — whether it’s due to poor rotations, communication or closeouts — and they know it. On the other hand, the Magic are bad at both shooting AND defending the three, coming in at 23rd in the league in both. Of course, it’s hard to say if that will actually translate into an advantage for the Spurs (it always feels like even bad shooting teams go off on them), but it is something that can help negate the rest disadvantage if they take proper advantage of it.
- Defending the paint — If the Magic are so bad at three-point shooting, then why the recent rise up the standings despite no Banchero? The answer is simple: points in the paint. In their last three wins, they have averaged 60 points in the paint and overall are third in the league in that category, which also has led to a league-best 30.8 free throw attempts per game. While Luke Kornet has done an admirable job in Wemby’s absence, the deterrent that prevents players from even trying to score around the rim is still missing, and Orlando will have no fear of attacking. The Spurs’ defense will have to find the correct balance between covering their own weakness of defending the three while avoiding overhelping or biting on pump fakes, which in turn opens up driving lanes and the Magic’s biggest strength.
