San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs look to snap their seven-game losing streak tonight as the division rival Memphis Grizzlies come to town.

The Spurs are coming off a tough loss last night to the Sacramento Kings in the In-Season Tournament while the Grizzlies are coming into the game with three full days of rest, having not played since Tuesday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Grizzlies may be well-rested, but they may be the most injured team in the NBA at the moment. Several key players will sit, including Marcus Smart, who was ruled out for the next 3-5 weeks with an ankle injury.

The Spurs aren't completely empty on the injury report. Neither Tre Jones nor Devin Vassell played last night against the Kings, and both their statuses are up in the air for tonight.
