Wednesday, February 9th the San Antonio Spurs face the Cleveland Cavaliers for the second and final meeting this season. The teams initially played on January 14th with Cleveland winning 114-109.
San Antonio had an unusually long rest last playing on Friday when they won 131-106 versus the Rockets while the Cavaliers last played on Sunday defeating the Pacers 98-84.
All-time the Pacers have the advantage of winning 105 of 200 matches versus the Cavaliers. Last season the teams played three times with the Pacers sweeping the regular-season series.
San Antonio Spurs
With the truncated offseason and Omricon outbreak most teams have been saddled with plenty of back-to-back sets and four games in five nights so the fact the Spurs have had four full days off is highly unusual.
That would typically offer San Antonio a big advantage but the Cavs have also been off since Sunday so both teams will be rested.
In the win versus the Rockets all five Spurs starters scored in double-figures as did Zach Collins (10) who finally is healthy. Dejounte Murray got great news learning he would replace Draymond Green as an All-Star reserve.
The young guard has produced a Most Improved Award worthy season although the Spurs haven’t been able to transfer that into victories. In the win versus the Rockets he posted a line indicative of his season with 19 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds, and four steals.
Jakob Poeltl also registered a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds plus three assists, a steal, and three blocks. Keldon Johnson led the way with 28 points.
Doug McDermott and Derrick White were the other double-digit scorers with 19 and 12 points respectively.
Josh Landale (head) was upgraded to probable while Tre Jones (dental), and Lonnie Walker IV (knee) are questionable for Wednesday.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers were one of the a handful of teams who got a jump on the trade deadline with the deal to bring Caris LeVert to Cleveland plus a 2022 second round pick (from Miami).
In return the Cavs sent the injured Ricky Rubio plus three draft picks including two this season – a 2022 lottery protected first-round and a second-round pick (via Houston) plus a 2027 second-round pick (via Utah).
Cleveland have won six or eight games but the two losses were to lower tier teams (Pistons, Rockets) and likely due to the absence of Darius Garland and Lauri Markkanen.
That duo has missed the last four and seven games respectively. Fortunately, the Cavaliers have one of the easiest strength of schedules remaining so they can afford to exercise patience with these two although Garland is listed as questionable for Wednesday.
Markkanen (ankle) is out indefinitely while Collin Sexton (knee) is lost for the season.

Fre e San Antonio Spurs vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Prediction
This game marks the start of an eight game road trip for the Spurs better known as the ‘rodeo trip’ who’ll want to get out to a strong start. The Cavaliers have the deeper squad but if Garland doesn’t play it could factor plus JB Bickerstaff will have to integrate LeVert.
For that reason, I’m taking the points and the Spurs.
