圣安东尼奥马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 告诉记者，在周五晚以117-130不敌克利夫兰骑士队后，他的球队正面临一些精神上的疲劳。经过两天的休整以及一些关键球员的回归，马刺队将有机会在对阵联盟战绩垫底的新奥尔良鹈鹕队的比赛中扭转颓势，继续他们为期四场的客场之旅。
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 在周一的比赛中均被列为出战成疑，但预计能够上场。值得注意的是，卡斯尔、科内特、乔丹·麦克劳克林 (Jordan McLaughlin) 和维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 均全面参与了周末的训练。圣安东尼奥队可能很快就能恢复全员健康。周一的比赛对于一些伤病缠身的马刺球员来说，可能是一场很好的状态调整赛，因为鹈鹕队可能会缺少他们前五名得分手中的三位。
圣安东尼奥队今年已经两次击败新奥尔良队，但在那些比赛中，这支银黑军团也体会到了这支充满活力的年轻球队身体对抗有多激烈。特雷·墨菲三世 (Trey Murphy III) 是一位冉冉升起的新星，而新秀杰里迈亚·菲尔斯 (Jeremiah Fears) 和德里克·奎恩 (Derik Queen) 则无所畏惧。科内特和卡斯尔的回归将极具价值，他们能够增强马刺在周五晚第三节丢掉44分的防守。圣安东尼奥队可以利用这场比赛来积蓄势头，以迎接周三晚与洛杉矶湖人队的NBA杯对决。

马刺伤病名单 ：斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 – 出战成疑 (臀部)，哈里森·英格拉姆 (Harrison Ingram) – 缺阵 (G联赛)，乔丹·麦克劳克林 – 缺阵 (腿筋)，卢克·科内特 – 出战成疑 (脚踝)，维克托·文班亚马 – 缺阵 (小腿)，莱利·米尼克斯 (Riley Minix) – 出战成疑 (G联赛)
鹈鹕伤病名单 ：亨特·迪金森 (Hunter Dickinson) – 缺阵 (G联赛)，赫伯特·琼斯 (Herbert Jones) – 出战成疑 (小腿)，德章泰·默里 (Dejounte Murray) – 缺阵 (跟腱)，乔丹·普尔 (Jordan Poole) – 缺阵 (股四头肌)，锡安·威廉姆森 (Zion Williamson) – 缺阵 (内收肌)
比赛看点：
限制墨菲三世
周一的比赛中，球将在鹈鹕队这位球星的手中。墨菲三世具备惊人的得分爆发力。在马刺队与新奥尔良队的上一次交锋中，他砍下了41分。本赛季他场均贡献20.5分和约三记三分球。圣安东尼奥队可能需要对他投入额外的防守球员，或者用充满身体对抗性的积极防守，不让他获得空位三分机会。鹈鹕队并非一支特别出色的进攻队伍（进攻效率排名联盟第26位），但他们拥有足够的天赋来找到手感。墨菲三世可能成为球队的催化剂。马刺队的任务就是确保不让他接管比赛。

专注防守
与克利夫兰队比赛的第三节，问题归根结底是缺乏对细节的专注。圣安东尼奥队出现了漏人、掩护沟通失误、在持球点对抗性不足等一系列问题。这完全是马刺队的防守崩盘。新奥尔良队不具备克利夫兰队那样的进攻天赋，但他们拥有已经证明了自己得分能力的年轻球员。科内特和卡斯尔的回归应该会带来很大帮助。圣安东尼奥队需要在那一端（防守端）全神贯注，才能在客场取胜。
卡斯尔的回归
在缺席了过去9场比赛后，卡斯尔预计将在周一复出。可以预见，他将重返首发阵容，而朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 将回到替补席。有趣的是，马刺队是否会限制他的上场时间，或者像之前一样采用大轮换阵容来减少他回归首战的出场时间。无论他的上场时间如何，马刺队都需要另一位持球冲击篮筐的攻击手、组织者和外线防守者。卡斯尔在所有这些方面都能提供帮助。而且，他在受伤前状态正佳。本赛季，卡斯尔场均贡献17.3分、7.5次助攻和5.8个篮板，投篮命中率为49.7%。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs. New Orleans Pelicans
San Antonio Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson told reporters that his team was facing some mental fatigue after a 130-117 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. After two days of rest and the return of some key players, the Spurs will get a chance to turn the ship around against the league-worst New Orleans Pelicans, as they continue their four-game road trip.
Stephon Castle and Luke Kornet are both questionable for Monday’s contest, but are expected to play. Notably, Castle, Kornet, Jordan McLaughlin, and Victor Wembanyama were full participants in practice over the weekend. San Antonio could be at full health very soon. Monday’s game could be a good tune-up game for some of the beat-up Spurs, as the Pelicans could be without three of their top five scorers.
San Antonio has already beaten New Orleans twice this year, but in those games, the Silver and Black experienced just how physical this motivated young team can be. Trey Murphy III is a budding star, and rookies Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen are fearless. Kornet and Castle will be hugely valuable as they can bolster a Spurs defense that gave up 44 third-quarter points on Friday night. San Antonio could use this game to gain some momentum as they head into their NBA Cup matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night.
San Antonio Spurs (15-7) vs. New Orleans Pelicans (3-21)
December 8, 2025 | 7 PM CT
Watch: Peacock / FanDuel SW | Listen: WOAI (1200 AM)
Spurs Injuries: Stephon Castle – Questionable (hip), Harrison Ingram – Out (G League), Jordan McLaughlin – Out (hamstring), Luke Kornet – Questionable (ankle), Victor Wembanyama – Out (calf), Riley Minix – Questionable (G League)
**Pelicans Injuries:**Hunter Dickinson – Out (G League), Herbert Jones – Questionable (calf), Dejounte Murray – Out (achilles), Jordan Poole – Out (quad), Zion Williamson – Out (adductor)
What to watch for:
Slowing down Murphy III
The ball will be in the Pelicans’ star’s hands on Monday. Murphy III is capable of huge scoring explosions. He had 41 points in the Spurs’ last matchup with New Orleans. He’s averaging 20.5 points and about three triples per contest. San Antonio may have to throw an extra defender at him, or be physical and aggressive in not letting him get open looks from three. The Pelicans are not a particularly great offensive team (26th in offensive rating), but they have enough talent to get hot. Murphy III could be a galvanizing force. The Spurs will be tasked with making sure he doesn’t take over the game.

Defensive focus
The third quarter of the Cleveland game boiled down to a lack of attention to detail. San Antonio lost their man, failed to communicate screens, and wasn’t physical at the point of attack, among other issues. It was a complete breakdown on the Spurs’ part. New Orleans doesn’t have the same level of offensive talent as Cleveland, but it has young players who have proven they can score. Kornet and Castle returning should be a big help. San Antonio will need to lock in on that end to get a win on the road.
Castle’s return
After missing the last 9 games, Castle is expected to play on Monday. It would be safe to assume he will come back to the starting lineup, with Julian Champagnie heading to the bench. It’ll be interesting to see if the Spurs put him on a minutes restriction or play an extended bench like they have been to reduce his minutes in the first game back. Regardless of his playing time, the Spurs could use another downhill attacker, playmaker, and perimeter defender. Castle can help in all of those departments. He was playing well before he got hurt, too. Castle is averaging 17.3 points, 7.5 assists, and 5.8 rebounds while shooting 49.7% from the field this season.
