How San Antonio Spurs Can Upset Favored Boston Celtics

The San Antonio Spurs have lost each of their last two games, falling to the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers on the road. Both the Pistons and Cavs are two of the better teams in the Eastern Conference, and the gunatlent through the opposite conference won't end quite yet.

On Saturday, the Spurs will return home to the Frost Bank Center but will have to play the Boston Celtics, who are favored to win the East for the second season in a row. Once again, the Spurs will be the underdogs, but a perfect scenario could be enough for them to manage to get a win.

Keep it posted to Inside the Spurs for all the latest news, ranging from odds (via FanDuel), injury reports for both teams and TV information.

If Stephon Catsle and Jeremy Sochan are able to neutralize either (or both) of Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum, then the Spurs should have a chance. However, it's worth noting that the Celtics are perhaps the deepest team in the league and slowing down either All-Star is a massive ask, which is reflected in the point spread.
