NOTABLE
• This game marks the end of the Spurs’ two-game series in Austin this season. The Spurs are 1-2 at the Moody Center, including Friday’s 117-106 loss against Denver.
• With four blocks against the
Nuggets, Wembanyama upped his total to 200 this season. It took him 59 games to reach that plateau, fifth-fastest in NBA history. He is one of only two players in league annals to record 200 blocks and 100 3-pointers in a season, joining Raef LaFrentz, who did it in 2001-02 in a season split between the Dallas
Mavericks and Denver Nuggets.
• The Nets arrive in Austin after facing the Pacers in Indiana on Saturday. Brooklyn is 4-7 this season in the second game of back-to-backs.
