![]() The New York Knicks started off as one of the hottest teams in basketball, yet as we near the halfway point of the season they have seemingly cooled down. These players were unavailable against Brooklyn and the Spurs still managed to compete, so they will get another test on Monday. Headlining the unavailable players are Derrick White, Keldon Johnson, and Thaddeus Young. The Spurs currently have seven players on their injury report, three of which are due to COVID. COVID has been sweeping across the league leaving nearly no team unaffected. If they can put up that many shots on Monday, then the Knicks will likely struggle to keep up.Īnother big factor in the outcome of Monday's game is the effects of COVID and injuries. Most other metrics were nearly even, but the Spurs had a clear edge in volume. Because San Antonio kept putting up shots, it allowed them to stay in the game. The Spurs took a ridiculous 107 shots in that game, compared to 98 from Brooklyn. San Antonio was able to keep pace for one reason, volume. In a game where San Antonio was missing some key players and Brooklyn had both KD and Harden, the Spurs were able to give the Nets a run for their money. The Spurs were extremely impressive in their loss to the Nets. Monday provides an opportunity for the Spurs to start gaining some momentum. While both COVID and injuries have been a factor in their struggles, San Antonio still needs to step up. In what was a fantastic all around game from both teams the Spurs came up just short, losing by two. Their most recent defeat came at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets in overtime. They are coming off two straight losses and will look to turn things around on Monday. Through their first 39 games they have a losing record with only 15 wins and 24 losses. The San Antonio Spurs have had a disappointing first half of the season.
