Spurs Look To Bounce Back At Home
The San Antonio Spurs play host to the Miami Heat at AT&T Center on Thursday evening.

This marks the second game of a three-game home stand for the Spurs (19-33), as they will look to bounce back from two consecutive losses and add to their, 10-17, home record. Jakob Poeltl (head) was forced to leave the Spurs' last game and remains questionable for action on Wednesday. On the bright side, Dejounte Murray continues to play well, averaging 22.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, 9.9 assists and 1.8 steals, over his last 10 games. Keldon Johnson is averaging 15.3 points and 6.1 rebounds, while Derrick White is averaging 14.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 10 steals, per game. The Spurs are averaging 111.4 points per game, but they are giving up an average of 111.6 points against.

Meanwhile, this marks the third game of a six-game road trip for the Heat (32-20), where they are winless, so far. The Heat have lost their last three games and will be looking to end the slide and add to their, 14-14, road record. Kyle Lowry (personal) has been out for nearly three weeks and remains questionable for action on Thursday. If Lowry is out, then Gabe Vincent will continue to start. Vincent has started the last nine games and is averaging 12.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.4 steals, over that span. Bam Adebayo has been solid since returning from a six-week absence, as he is averaging 17.0 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.2 blocks, over the last nine games. Jimmy Butler continues to contribute at a high level, averaging 18.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.9 steals, over his last 10 games.
