One of the five games the NBA has scheduled for basketball fans on December 17 is the New Orleans Pelicans vs. San Antonio Spurs contest. This is the second meeting between the two teams this season; the Pelicans prevailed in the first one by a commanding 15-point margin.

After defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in their most recent game, the San Antonio Spurs were able to end their 18-game losing streak and gained confidence. As they raced toward their fifth game of the year, they would attempt to gain momentum.

Conversely, the New Orleans Pelicans, with a 15-11 record, are ninth in the heavily favored NBA Western Conference. They recently defeated the Charlotte Hornets, and they are currently riding a three-game winning streak.

On Sunday, December 17, the New Orleans Pelicans and San Antonio Spurs will play inside the corridors of the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. NBA League Pass subscribers can watch the live stream online starting at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time, which is when Bally Sports SW-SA and Bally Sports New Orleans will begin their live broadcast.

Two players for the New Orleans Pelicans are doubtful for their matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. While Larry Nance Jr. is expected to return earlier, in mid-January, Matt Ryan is anticipated to return by mid-February.

Zach Collins, the center for the San Antonio Spurs, is listed as “probable” while he assesses his knee injury. Along with Collins, Tre Jones is ‘questionable’ and the team makes decisions about him during games. A knee injury has forced Charles Bassey to miss the entire season.
