What to Know

The San Antonio Spurs haven't won a contest against the Philadelphia 76ers since Dec. 17 of 2018, but they'll be looking to end the drought Sunday. They will face off against one another at 6:30 p.m. ET at Wells Fargo Center. After these two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.

San Antonio took their game against the Orlando Magic this past Friday by a conclusive 104-77 score. The win came about thanks to a strong surge after the first quarter to overcome a 29-16 deficit. The Spurs' small forward Rudy Gay filled up the stat sheet, picking up 19 points.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia made easy work of the Washington Wizards this past Friday and carried off a 127-101 victory. It was another big night for Philadelphia's center Joel Embiid, who had 23 points along with seven boards.

San Antonio is expected to lose this next one by 4.5. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 9-4-1 ATS in away games but only 19-14-1 all in all.

The wins brought San Antonio up to 19-15 and the 76ers to 26-12. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Spurs come into the matchup boasting the fewest steals given up per game in the league at 5.9. But Philadelphia ranks second in the league when it comes to steals per game, with 8.79 on average. Ball control might end up being a major factor in this one.
