With a stacked roster including All-Stars Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, the New York Knicks will take on San Antonio this Wednesday motivated to hold onto both their spot in the Eastern Conference standings and home-court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs.

When New York clashed with the Spurs on Christmas Day, it was Mikal Bridges who sparked the team with 41 points in a close 114-117 win at Madison Square Garden. Jeremy Sochan was solid for the Spurs, finishing the game with 21 points and 9 rebounds.

As Charles Bassey recovers from an acute-on-chronic bone bruise to his left knee, Sochan has held his own in spot duty at backup center despite a recent left calf contusion.

With De’Aaron Fox out for season-ending surgery on his shooting hand, the Spurs will need scoring where they can find it to keep pace with the Knicks. Look for rising star Stephon Castle to continue to make the most of his minutes on both ends of the floor.

$17 and up, 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 19, Frost Bank Center, 1 Frost Bank Center Drive, (210) 444-5140, frostbankcenter.com, Fanduel Sports Network-Southwest.
