San Antonio Spurs vs. Boston Celtics preview

The Boston Celtics are rolling into San Antonio with a full head of steam, fresh off a dominant 132-102 victory over the Phoenix Suns that showcased their offensive firepower and defensive prowess.

While the Spurs have shown flashes of potential, they're facing an uphill battle against a Celtics squad that's firing on all cylinders, ranking 2nd in the NBA in adjusted NET rating.

Keep an eye on Kristaps Porzingis, who's coming off a monster 30-point performance and could be a matchup nightmare for the Spurs' frontcourt.

San Antonio's Devin Vassell has been stepping up in the absence of Victor Wembanyama, but he'll have his hands full trying to match the Celtics' offensive output.

The Spurs have managed to keep games close recently, but Boston's depth and defensive intensity might prove too much to handle.

With Jayson Tatum's status uncertain due to an ankle issue, it'll be interesting to see if the Celtics' supporting cast can maintain their high level of play on the road.

History favors Boston in this matchup, with the Celtics winning six of their last ten encounters against the Spurs.

Expect a hard-fought contest, but don't be surprised if the Celtics' championship-caliber roster proves too much for the scrappy Spurs to overcome.
