Spurs' Home Advantage
The Spurs have been strong at home this season, boasting a 5-2 record. Notably, they shoot more 3-pointers at the Frost Bank Center with a significantly higher accuracy (38.5%). This could be a crucial advantage against the Kings.
Kings' Strengths and Weaknesses
Despite their losing streak, the Kings have some potent offensive weapons. Russell Westbrook, even at 37, remains an efficient scorer and playmaker, pushing the pace for the team. However, their fast-paced style impacts their defense, making them one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA. The Spurs should exploit this weakness through smart passing and attacking the weak side.
Player to Watch: Malik Monk
Malik Monk is a game-changer coming off the bench for the Kings. His ability to get hot quickly makes him a dangerous threat. The Spurs need to contain him by staying up on screens and setting high pick-up points when he brings the ball up the court.
