Detroit had a quality team on the ropes yesterday in the Sacramento Kings with an eighteen point lead. Before it was even halftime they were trailing and went on to lose by 21 points. Positioning for the worst record in the NBA continues against the five win spurs. Grab San Antonio.

If Gregg Popovich would let his prize rookie play more than 25 minutes a game, which I don't really understand, then this would be almost a lock barring injury/foul trouble. But even with those limited minutes, Wemby has at least three blocks in seven of the past eight. Maybe Pop lets him play a bit longer tonight because it should be a close game and the Spurs might actually win -- they are road faves for the first time. This matchup features the lowest combined winning percentage at least 35 games into both teams' seasons in league history at .111.

The Spurs have been limiting Victor Wembanyama to around 25 minutes per game lately because of an ankle issue. Over the last seven games while playing under those limitations, he still blocked at least three shots in a game six times. He even had four games with at least five blocks. The Pistons have a lot of young players that like to drive into the paint, which has contributed to them giving up the fourth-most blocks per game in the league. I’ll pay the juice and take this over.
