San Antonio Spurs (14-44) vs. Charlotte Hornets (16-43)
The 2022-23 NBA season continues Wednesday, February 15, with the San Antonio Spurs squaring off against the Charlotte Hornets in the cross-conference showdown at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
San Antonio and Charlotte wrap up their two-game regular-season set. Back in October, the Hornets routed the Spurs 129-102 as 1-point road dogs, and the game went over a 221.5-point line. Charlotte opens as a 6-point home fave this time around, while the totals sit at 241.0 points.
The San Antonio Spurs (14-44; 24-34 ATS) extended their horrible losing streak to 13 games this past Monday. They suffered a 117-109 defeat at the Cleveland Cavaliers, covering a huge 16-point spread. The Spurs trailed the Cavs from start to finish despite making 50.6% of their field goals and 38.1% of their 3-pointers (8-for-21).
Keldon Johnson continues to lead the way for the Spurs. He had 25 points and four assists against Cleveland, and Johnson is now averaging 21.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.7 assists on the season. Malaki Branham notched 18 points last Monday, and Devonte’ Graham added 12 points and eight assists off the bench.
We played a hell of a team,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said after a loss to the Cavs. “They play really strong defense, which is going to suit them well in the playoffs. There is no magic solution out there. We played the right way for three quarters. I’m really proud of our guys.”

The Spurs are without Devin Vassell (knee) and Khem Birch (knee), while Tre Jones (foot), Isaiah Roby (ankle), and Doug McDermott (Achilles) are all questionable to play Wednesday in Charlotte.
