Spurs look for first win against Mavericks after opening 0-2
The San Antonio Spurs are set to face the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday in Dallas.
San Antonio has lost its first two games, while Dallas is 1-1 after a big win over Indiana.
The Spurs’ opening losses came against strong opponents, and they will look to claim their first win of the season against a depleted Dallas team.
The Mavericks are expected to be without Cooper Flagg and several other players because of injuries.
That could leave Dallas relying more on guard Kyrie Irving for scoring, while San Antonio will look to limit him.
The game is scheduled for 8 p.m.
Central Time on October 24.
