Team news and injuries
Collins (foot) will not make his season debut until after the holidays, according to Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News. With the squad allowing 54.1 percent shooting from two-point range, he will have the opportunity to impose his will in the frontcourt. When the Pelicans’ floor shrinks, there isn’t a consistent interior rim enforcer to clean things up.
According to Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com, Williamson’s (foot) bone has not mended as predicted, and he is taking an indefinite break from his on-court rehab. Lewis tore his ACL and sprain his Grade 2 MCL in his right knee in the second quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Spurs vs Pelicans preview
The Pelicans can win their next two games, after nearly blowing it at home against the Detroit Pistons on Friday. On Sunday, they’ll face the Spurs, and on Wednesday, they’ll face the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both teams are in the midst of rebuilding seasons and have losing records. If the Pelicans can win three games in a row, it will go a long way toward giving them some momentum, which they absolutely need right now.
This Spurs side may not have the most well-known players, but they don’t make many errors. They’re not turning the ball over at an astronomical rate, and they’re competing on both ends of the court. They haven’t exactly figured out how to win on a regular basis, but they are certainly a well-coached basketball squad. On Thursday, it was enough to defeat the Denver Nuggets.
Spurs vs Pelicans Head to Head record
During the regular season, the Spurs and the Pelicans played 69 games, with the Spurs winning 50 and the Pelicans winning 19. Spurs have beaten the Pelicans in four of their last five games.
