Spurs look to avoid a 3-game slide against an Eastern Conference opponent

The San Antonio Spurs (18-18) will look to get back over .500 and stop a two-game deficit when they face the Milwaukee Bucks (18-16) on Wednesday night.

The Spurs are looking for their first win over the Bucks since November 2022 and their first win in Milwaukee since October 2021. San Antonio will be without forward Jeremy Sochan as he was sidelined with a back problem. Milwaukee superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as a game-time decision, but is likely as he has a knee problem.

San Antonio has struggled on the road this season, only managing a 6-10 record and suffering a tough road loss to the Chicago Bulls. Milwaukee had a strong home record at 11-7, but fell on hard times, losing four of six games since Christmas, losing twice to Brooklyn and once to Chicago during that time.
