Having already lost two away games to the Dallas Mavericks earlier this season, the Spurs look to bounce back at home in consecutive contests this Monday and Wednesday against their longtime division rivals.

It was a rough February for both franchises, with the Mavericks inexplicably trading away five-time All Star Luka Doncic to the Lakers, and both Victor Wembanyama and head coach Gregg Popovich expected to miss the remainder of the season for the Spurs.

With Wemby sidelined by a blood clot in his right shoulder, San Antonio faces the prospect of missing the playoffs for a franchise record sixth straight season. After a hot start in a Spurs uniform, De’Aaron Fox’s scoring has cooled off recently, and the team will lean heavily on his fluid offense in Wembanyama’s absence.

Look for San Antonio’s veteran trio of Fox, Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes to set the tone for a four-game home stand as the team slides in the standings with a little over a month left in the season.
