San Antonio Spurs Preview
The San Antonio Spurs are one of the youngest teams in the league. Despite not having enough firepower, the five-time NBA champions have put up some impressive performances. They have proven to be a tough team to beat and their opponents for the game, the Brooklyn Nets would agree to this. Although they are 12th in the West, the Spurs can still challenge for a place in the play-in tournaments. However, for that to happen, they will have to keep racking wins and show some consistency in the upcoming games.
Key Player - Dejounte Murray
Dejounte Murray has been in impressive form this season. The 25-year-old is averaging 19.2 PPG, 8.4 RPG and 8.9 APG in 40 appearances. His impact on the Spurs team has been massive. Murray secured his eighth triple-double against the OKC Thunder in the Spurs' most recent win.

G - Dejounte Murray, G - Derrick White, F - Keldon Johnson, F - Doug McDermott, C - Jakob Poeltl
Nets vs Spurs Match Prediction
The Brooklyn Nets will come into this game as favorites, considering the wide array of stars they have on their roster. However, the young Spurs team have proven in the past that they are not afraid of any team and will certainly come into the game with their best. A game like the earlier encounter between the two could go down to the wire, but given that Kyrie Irving is back on the Nets team, he will be looking to take control and help the team get to a win.
