The San Antonio Spurs and Charlotte Hornets will meet for the second time in eight nights Friday with their growing pains still on full display. The Spurs pulled off a 135-99 victory over the Hornets on Jan. 12, with San Antonio now on a three-game losing streak and Charlotte amid a six-game losing skid. San Antonio has won three games in the past month. Other than winning at home against Charlotte last week, the other two victories came on the road. In the Spurs' recent victory against the Hornets, rookie Victor Wembanyama delivered 26 points and 11 rebounds. That began the first stretch of his early career with three consecutive games of more than 25 points. Wembanyama has been San Antonio's leading scorer in six of the last 12 games. We think the Spurs show up here again as they have some confidence after beating Charlotte last time, and we will roll with the Spurs here.
