Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much.

The Spurs face the same team they saw a few days ago, with a few new additions. Naji Marshall, Cooper Flagg, Max Christie, and Daniel Gafford all played terrific games against the Spurs on Thursday night, and today they are joined by Marvin Bagley III, Khris Middleton, Tyus Jones, and AJ Johnson, who all joined the team in trades at the trade deadline. It’s unclear how much any of them will play today, but I would expect Jason Kidd to at least give them a little bit of run today. Tyus Jones has torched the Spurs in the past, but since Kidd prefers lineups without a point guard, he might not see the court.

The Spurs won Thursday’s game by 12, but the game was much closer than that until the final minute. The Spurs have a habit of sloppy play whenever they get a lead, but seem to usually snap out of it in time to make things interesting at the end of the game, which leads to victories more often than not. It can be frustrating to watch, and also exciting, not always in a good way. Devin Vassell seems to be finding his rhythm in the last couple of games after a slow start following his long injury absence. Luke Kornet should be back tonight, which means less of the small ball lineup with Harrison Barnes or Keldon Johnson at center that the Mavericks exploited on Thursday night. De’Aaron Fox is on the injury report, so we’ll see a lot of the Dylan Harper/Stephon Castle backcourt. Both of those players are having spectacular seasons, but it will be interesting seeing them play together tonight. The Spurs have two more games before the All Star break, against the Lakers on Tuesday and Warriors on Wednesday. A win tonight would keep them solidly in second place in the west with a four game victory streak, and tonight is the final home game before the annual Rodeo Road Trip. The Spurs won’t play in San Antonio again until March 5, but they will play two home-ish games at the Moody Center in Austin on February 19 and 21, against the Suns and Kings. Let’s GOO SPURS!!

Keldon Johnson Dylan Harper will block two Cooper Flagg shots.
