San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs are looking to snap a three-game losing streak tonight when they face the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center.

The Mavs are injured beyond belief and sat three starters in their loss to the Houston Rockets on Friday night. Meanwhile, the Spurs are coming into the game with a day of rest, and that could prove to be crucial against a dilapidated Dallas squad.

This is the second meeting between the two rivals this season. The Mavs beat the Spurs on Opening Night in San Antonio, but the circumstances are slightly different this time around, which could trigger a new result.

Here's everything you need to know for tonight's game ...
