Spurs Hosts Struggling Nets
The San Antonio Spurs play host to the Brooklyn Nets at Moody Center on Sunday evening.

The Spurs (14-53) enter on a three-game slide but hope to turn things around as they face the fourth game of an eight-game home stand with the chance to build on their, 7-24, home record. Victor Wembanyama continues to lead the team, averaging 20.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.4 blocks per game. Devin Vassell is averaging 19.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 steals, while Keldon Johnson averages 15.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. The Spurs average 112.2 points per game, but they give up an average of 119.8 points per game, which is sixth most in the league.

Meanwhile, this marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Nets (26-41), after a 21-point loss in Indiana on Saturday. They were out to a great start in the game, but they fell apart after the first quarter and suffered their fourth loss in the last five games. Cam Thomas led the team with 22 points, eight rebounds and two assists, in 32 minutes of action. Cameron Johnson followed up with 14 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals, while Dennis Schroder added 13 points, two rebounds, five assists and a steal. Nicolas Claxton finished with nine points, 10 rebounds, a steal and two blocks. The Nets will look to get back on track as they face the sixth and final game of a road trip with the opportunity to improve on their, 10-23, road record.
