As for the Spurs, they are the 15th seed in the Western Conference with a 3-18 record in their first 21 games (they are in the middle of a 16-game losing streak).

At home, the Spurs have gone 1-10 in 11 games, while they are 2-8 in the ten games they have played on the road away from San Antonio.

The franchise has won five NBA Championships since 1999, but they are also coming off a year where they missed the NBA playoffs for the fourth straight season.
