The San Antonio Spurs have struggled throughout the course of this season. They haven't been able to gel properly so far and are currently out of the playoffs standings.
The Spurs have a 24-32 record at the moment and are the 11th ranked team in the Western Conference. They will need to win these upcoming few matches to have a chance of reaching the playoffs.
Key player - DeMar DeRozan
DeMar DeRozan has been brilliant for the Spurs despite being the subject of numerous trade rumors. DeRozan has easily been the most consistent player on the team this season, and is looking good for more.
DeRozan is averaging 22.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game for the Spurs. He is also shooting a highly efficient 53% from the field.
Spurs predicted lineup
Dejounte Murray, Bryn Forbes, DeMar DeRozan, Trey Lyles, LaMarcus Aldridge
Mavericks vs Spurs Match Prediction
The Mavericks had a great start to the season but have taken a step back in recent months because of injuries. The Spurs on the other hand have been inconsistent throughout the season.
I predict the Mavs to have a tight win in this match against the Spurs.
