Here’s what to watch for in the San Antonio Spurs final regular-season game of the 2019-20 season

Well, we’re finally here. After what’s felt like, and actually been, the longest regular-season ever, the San Antonio Spurs will play their final regular-season tonight against the Utah Jazz, putting a bow on the 2019-20 regular season.

Tonight’s game is massively important. If the Spurs win they’ll do be doing all they can to set themselves up for a spot in the play-in series to decide who will go on to the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs. Thankfully, they’re playing a team they’re already very familiar with.

San Antonio has already beaten the Utah Jazz three times this season and their matchup tonight will give the Spurs a chance to go a perfect 4-0 on the season.

The Spurs benefitted from playing an injury-depleted lineup during the first matchup between these two teams in the bubble and will have a similar situation tonight. Utah will be playing without Mike Conley, Rudy Gobert, and Emmanuel Mudiay in tonight’s game.

All of this sets up a great chance for San Antonio to sneak into the playoffs for the 23rd consecutive season. The other teams ahead of them will have to stumble for that to happen, but you can be sure the Spurs are going to do everything they can to get themselves into the play-in series.

Here’s what to watch for as the San Antonio Spurs take the floor in their final regular-season game.
