The San Antonio Spurs play host to the Milwaukee Bucks at AT&T Center on Saturday.

The Bucks (1-1) could not have looked any better in their opener and any worse in their second game. They took care of business on Opening Night by beating the Brooklyn Nets by 23 points but went into Miami and took a 42-point beatdown on Thursday night. That's a bizarre two-game set, and it's hard to know what to expect here after such volatile performances. What we do know is that Jrue Holiday is nicked up, and Brook Lopez is out for this game. It's a long season ahead of them, and ruling out Holiday on Thursday with a probable tag shows just how cautious they will be. This team played a long season in their championship run last year, and you better believe there will be numerous maintenance days for all of these guys as we advance.

The Spurs (1-1) picked up a blowout win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in their opener but suffered a narrow loss against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. A close loss in Denver is nothing to be discouraged by, with players like Keldon Johnson and Dejounte Murray both playing well. That does mean that this is the second half of a back-to-back set, though, and that's usually an issue with the Spurs. They used to rest their veterans in the past, but this is the youngest core Greg Popovich has had in his tenure. That makes us believe they'll be at full health here, and fans certainly want that since this is one of their premier games against the former champs.

These teams have split each of their last three season series, with the home team prevailing in all six games. With that said, the Bucks have won six of their last nine games over the Spurs in total.
