San Antonio Spurs Players to Watch
The next three players are the most important players on the team and they will lead their team to victory. First, point guard Keldon Johnson (#3) is one of the best players in the league, averaging 20.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game this season. He is a very consistent player and is the star of the team. He must lead the offense and defense to win the game. Another player is center Victor Wembanyama (#1), the last tournament helped the team have a good season and at the moment he has averaged 19.9 points, 10.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists in the 2023-2024 season. He is one of the best centers in the league and we should keep an eye on him. Finally, point guard Tre Jones (#33) had his contract extended this season and is expected to become the team's third most important player. In the tournament he has averaged 12.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game.
San Antonio Spurs in the tournament
The San Antonio Spurs are progressing poorly in the tournament, this year they are once again a strong team competing in the Western Conference. They had a bad start to the 2023-2024 regular season, with 7 games won and 33 lost, they are in last place in the Western Conference. Last tournament they were left out of the playoffs, they made several changes to the team and they hope that this season they can be first place in the west. Their last game was on January 17 against the Boston Celtics, where the San Antonio Spurs lost 117-98 at TD Garden and thus suffered another defeat in the tournament. They arrive as the least favorites to win the matchup, but they could surprise and win the game because they are a good team from the Eastern Conference and because of the experience their players have.
Charlotte Hornets Players to Watch
You have to pay attention to these three players, they are important pieces of the team and they will have to guide their team to victory. First, point guard LaMelo Ball (#1), is considered the best player on the team and this season would be his seventh year in the league. In the 2023-2024 regular season he averages 21.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game respectively, they will be very important for the offense and have a lot of weight on the team. Another important player is center Mark Williams (#5) who this season has managed to average 9.4 points, 9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. The team needs him to get rebounds and control the defense. Finally, forward Miles Bridges (#0) will be key to assisting, last season he helped the team a lot and this season he has averaged 23.7 points, 6 rebounds and 7.8 assists.
Charlotte Hornets in the tournament
The Charlotte Hornets had a bad start to the regular season, with 8 games won and 30 lost, they established themselves in thirteenth place in the Eastern Conference. Last tournament they lost in the first round of the playoffs, they made several changes to the team and they hope that this season they can compete to enter the Play-in tournament or even qualify directly for the playoffs. Their last game was on January 17 against the New Orleans Pelicans, where the Charlotte Hornets lost 132 to 112 at the Smoothie King Center and thus the Charlotte Hornets suffered another loss in the tournament. They come as favorites to win this game and win because of the incredible team they have and the good time they are going through. They have an advantage in Friday's game by playing at home and that their fans can support them.
