Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs. Sacramento Kings (Pounding The Rock)

In 2023, the roles have been reversed. Sacramento clinched the team's first playoff appearance since 2006 this week, while San Antonio secured the highest ...

Collins has been one of the Spurs best players since the trade deadline, averaging 16 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. With no KJ, Vassell or Sochan, they leaned on Jones and Collins as the initiators of their offense, working out of the high post and pick and roll. His last matchup with Sacramento in February was one of his strongest games of the season. He actually operates similarly to Collins, as a playmaker in the high post who can take mismatches down to the block, while spacing the floor on Fox’s drives. It will be interesting to see if Popovich makes it a point to get Branham more touches in a position to score. The Spurs lineup may look similar to the one they ran out against the Jazz on March 29th, with Branham, Zach Collins, Tre Jones and the wing pair of KBD and Champagnie. The coaches will certainly be watching to get an idea of who will be back next season, and so should you. As mentioned above, Branham has been playing some of his best ball since the All-Star break, lately. With the NBA announcing its new collective bargaining agreement, the Spurs will be able to fill three separate two-way roster spots, meaning they will be able to add one more player who can split time between the G-League and NBA. The answer is likely a mixture of all of these things. They’ve stepped into major minutes off of the bench down the stretch, and should get even more run with so many Spurs potentially sitting this game out. The Spurs have been resting a lot of their young core down the stretch this season, and it’s left some fans wondering why.
