The Spurs are a good team, even without their all-world center. Vicktor Wembanyama will be missing his team’s annual trip to Cleveland for the second season in a row. He last played on Nov. 16. The Spurs have done well in his absence as they’re 6-2 since he last played.
De’Aaron Fox has picked up his scoring with Wembanyama out of the lineup. He’s averaging 26.9 points on .483/.382/.821 shooting splits with six assists per game in his last eight outings.
