The San Antonio Spurs are set to face the struggling Washington Wizards, who are currently on a five-game losing streak with a 2-7 record. The Wizards will need to devise a strategy to contain rookie Victor Wembanyama, focusing on not allowing him one-on-one opportunities in the post.
Defensively, the Wizards will rely on Alex Sarr, known for his shot-blocking abilities, while their backcourt playmaking, led by Jordan Poole and Bilal Coulibaly, could provide an edge against the Spurs.
However, the Wizards' high turnover rate, particularly in their recent road games, poses a significant risk. With Malcolm Brogdon sidelined due to injury, the team struggles without a reliable point guard. Predictions suggest the Spurs may win by a margin of 10-15 points.
