Why the Spurs can cover
With Vassell likely out, look for small forward Keldon Johnson to play a bigger role. Although he too is not 100% with a wrist injury, he has been solid, scoring 26 points in a 123-106 overtime loss to Toronto on Sunday, and 16 points in the big loss at Indiana on Monday. For the season, Johnson is averaging 16.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, four assists and one steal.
Center Victor Wembanyama is off to an impressive start to his career. The top pick in this year’s NBA Draft is averaging 19.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals. He is connecting on 46.2% of his field goals and 75.7% of his free throws. His most productive game so far was his 38-point and 10-rebound performance in a 132-121 win at Phoenix on Thursday. He has registered three double-doubles as a pro. See which team to pick here.
