After beating the Los Angeles Clippers in Hollywood, the San Antonio Spurs will have no time to rest as they travel north to take on the Sacramento Kings in the second half of a back-to-back.
On Monday night, the San Antonio Spurs toppled the Los Angeles Clippers, winning 119-115, but they won't have any time to rest on their laurels. On Tuesday, they hit the road and will travel north to take on the Sacramento Kings in the second-to-last back-to-back of the season.
The Spurs are undefeated against the Kings this season, last beating them in Austin's Moody Center as a part of a "home" game in the middle of the Rodeo Road Trip. After investing in veteran talent in the last few seasons, the Kings have sunk to the bottom of the standings and are hoping to land their first number-one pick in franchise history.
The Spurs, meanwhile, are still nipping at the heels of the first-place Oklahoma City Thunder, and every win counts. With two teams playing for two vastly different goals, the Spurs are entering the game as heavy favorites, even with no time for rest or recovery.

While the Spurs are heavy favorites, they know that the travel could catch up to them.
"When I first got here, man, I couldn't even move," said Julian Champagnie of his first NBA season. "Couldn't even move. But you get used to it after a while. You tell yourself it's part of the job here."
With LaVine and Sabonis out, DeMar DeRozan is the only star player in the Kings' rotation. The former Spur had a career year after he was traded from San Antonio to the Chicago Bulls, but has not been able to find any amount of team success.
After this game, the Spurs will have a day off before heading back home to Texas to take on the Phoenix Suns, who have defied the preseason expectations and seem to have the Spurs' number this year, in what should be one of the toughest games of the season.
