Washington Wizards - San Antonio Spurs (-1,5) Good evening to all. The Washington Wizards and San Antonio Spurs cross at 02: 00 at dawn their swords at Capital One Arena.
After a good start to the season where the first 5 games achieved 4 wins, the Spurs suffered 8 defeats in the following 9 and 6 consecutive times, which is the the biggest losing streak of '' spurs '' from 2011. So we understand there is a serious issue in Gregg Popovich's team that seeks a victory, mainly to build psychology, urgently. Aldridge and DeRozan, who are theoretically the 'heavy papers' so far, are not performing well and in combination with their poor overall defensive performance have largely suffered from the very negative side. Overall the Spurs overall is not bad, equal to last year when the team managed to get into the playoffs the roster is fuller.
On the side of Wizards Orlando's defeat was 4 in the last 5 and 8 overall so far in 11 match. Aggressively the '' magicians '' are not bad, they just have 3 the best attack in the league, with problem is located at defense piece, as with the 120,1 points that allow opponents the worst performance of all teams. Beal is really great this year, but at times the games are hopelessly lonely.
In summary, the Spurs are the team with the largest series of consecutive games in the playoffs because precisely even when they are not in good shape they win games with opponents like tonight. The game against the Wizards finds them in a really marginal state and I estimate that they will break this rather paradoxical, quality base they have, negative streak they run. I do not think it will be easy, but one way or another Gregg Popovich and his players are capable of beating this Washington.
