For the second time in a week, the San Antonio Spurs will take on the Washington Wizards and look to add another win, tightening up the race in the Western Conference playoff picture. Before tipoff, we have you covered with everything you need to know.
Since the San Antonio Spurs' NBA Cup loss to the New York Knicks did not count as a regular-season game, the team is technically riding a five-game win streak. While beating the Oklahoma City Thunder remains the most impressive win of the season, their 119-94 win over the Washington Wizards was one of the most dominant.
On Sunday, the Spurs will travel to the capital to take on the Wizards in a rematch. Victor Wembanyama is ramping up and showcasing that he is healthy, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper are doing great jobs spacing the floor, and De'Aaron Fox is enjoying one of the best starts to a season in his entire career.
Our official RoundtableSpurs prediction? It could be a bloodbath.

Breaking the last game's record, this showdown between San Antonio and Washington is the most the Spurs have been favored all season.
After beating the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, the Spurs tied the Denver Nuggets for second place in the Western Conference, although they own the tiebreaker after an earlier, Wembanyama-less win over the Nuggets. They remain 4.5 games behind the OKC Thunder, although they are one of the only true threats to the Thunder's dominance.
The Spurs are ahead of schedule, and without getting ahead of ourselves, this is the most confident we have been for a Spurs game in a long time. A shorthanded, tanking Washington team doesn't really stand a chance.
