What you need to know about the Spurs
The Spurs ended up a good deal behind the Indiana Pacers when they played on Monday, losing 131-118. San Antonio was down 109-83 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. One thing holding San Antonio back was the mediocre play of Lonnie Walker IV, who did not have his best game: Walker finished with 10 points on 4-for-11 shooting in his 26 minutes on the court.
The Spurs have emphasized ball movement this season and it has paid off as they lead the NBA with 28.7 assists per game. Guard Dejounte Murray leads the team with a career-high of 8.4 assists per contest, while also ranking ninth in the league with 2.0 steals per game. Murray nearly had a triple-double when San Antonio played Dallas last week as he posted 23 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.
What you need to know about the Mavericks
Meanwhile, Dallas entered its matchup against the Miami Heat on Tuesday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. The Mavericks took a hard 125-110 fall against Miami. Dallas' loss shouldn't obscure the performances of point guard Luka Doncic, who had 33 points and five assists, and point guard Jalen Brunson, who recorded 25 points in addition to seven boards.
The Mavericks played Tuesday without the services of big men Kristaps Porzingis (back) and Maxi Kleber (back), and their statuses are up in the air for Wednesday's game. Their potential absences would leave more on the shoulders of Doncic, who is averaging 24 points, 7.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game.
