The San Antonio Spurs are coming off a dominant 136-108 win over a shorthanded Los Angeles Lakers team. Victor Wembanyama scored 40 points, and the Spurs cruised to one of their most dominant games of the season.
Could fans have asked for a better start to the Rodeo Road Trip? Nope, but there's no time to celebrate, as the Spurs will travel north on Wednesday to take on the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors, like the Lakers, will be without some of their best players. The Spurs, meanwhile, are nearly fully healthy. Golden State is coming off a win over the Memphis Grizzlies at home on Monday, so they had an off day and don't have to travel, which is a key advantage before the All-Star Break resets teams' travel schedules.
Before tipoff, we have you covered with everything you need to know, from betting odds, TV info, and injury reports for both squads.
The Spurs are heavy favorites, in large part thanks to injuries, although it's worth noting that the Spurs are 0-2 this season against the Warriors. Granted, it took a vintage Stephen Curry masterclass for the Warriors to win the second game, and with him not suiting up, the Spurs should have an easier run of things.
Castle left the Spurs' last game with an injury and did not return. However, he made it clear that he hopes and plans to play against Golden State.
With the All-Star Break coming up, clearer heads would tell him to take a step back, miss this game, and use the prolonged vacation to get fully healthy before a playoff push.
