San Antonio Spurs vs. Milwaukee Bucks GAMEDAY: Preview, Betting Odds, How to Watch, Injury Report
The San Antonio Spurs are taking on the Milwaukee Bucks at the Fiserv Forum on Tuesday in the first of two regular-season meetings during the 2023-24 campaign.
The Spurs (4-21) will be without rookie star Victor Wembanyama for the second game this season, as the team has already ruled him out due to right ankle soreness.
San Antonio fell 146-110 to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, but snapped an 18-game losing streak in Friday's 129-115 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Milwaukee (19-7) beat the Houston Rockets 128-119 on Sunday, which marked its fourth straight win. Unsurprisingly, Bucks stars Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 39 points and 20 points respectively. With both on the floor Tuesday, San Antonio's defense could be tougher.
Wemby's absence will no doubt impact the Spurs on the defensive end. He's averaging 19 points, 11 rebounds 1.3 steals and three blocks per game, all of which are team-high marks.

A highly-anticipated matchup between Wemby and Giannis will have to wait for now, but only for two more weeks. The Bucks and Spurs play for the second time season at Frost Bank Center on Tuesday, Jan. 4.
