Last season marked the first time since 1997 that the San Antonio Spurs missed the playoffs. It brought an end to Gregg Popovich and the Spurs’ iconic 22-year streak. This season could be the repeat of that and could mark the beginning of a rebuilding season.

Due to the COVID restrictions, the NBA has released only a partial schedule of the season. So games up to the first few days of March have been announced, and the rest will be out later.

Both are home games for the Spurs and will be played on Dec 30 at 8:30 pm EST and Jan 1 at 8:00 pm EST.

They have another back-to-back clash later in the month against another rival team. They host the Houston Rockets on January 14 at 8:30 pm EST and then on January 16 at 5:00 pm EST. Their rivalry is called the-10 rivalry since San Antonio and Houston lie on Interstate 10.

January is a huge month for the Spurs, as they also host the Dallas Mavericks on January 22 at 8:30 pm EST. Similar to the Rockets-Mavericks, this rivalry is called the I-35 Rivalry, because the cities lie on Interstate 35. In recent years, both teams have gone down in success, but it is famous for the battles between Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan.
