The San Antonio Spurs try to make it two-in-a-row following a 104-103 win over the Charlotte Hornets. Tim Duncan could be coaching the team once more with Popovich unconfirmed to return. All eyes will be on Dejounte Murray who had a good outing against the Hornets. DeMar Derozan and Patty Mills need to provide support if the Spurs want to send the Nets reeling.

The Brooklyn Nets are still smarting from that loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, meaning players like Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert need to step up anew. Saddled by injuries to stars, head coach Kenny Atkinson needs to find a way to get his team to play with some urgency. They are only half a game ahead of the Magic and a loss could drop them to the eighth spot of the Eastern Conference.
