The San Antonio Spurs are wrapping up their two-game tour in Sacramento tonight as they face the Los Angeles Lakers at the Golden 1 Center.

The Spurs are hoping to remain undefeated before they head to Las Vegas for Friday's opening night, where Victor Wembanyama will make his highly-anticipated debut for San Antonio.

But while Wembanyama sits out of Wednesday's contest, eyes will be on the rest of the young Spurs, who made a strong impact in Monday's win against the Charlotte Hornets.

Dominick Barlow and Julian Champagnie, two returning veterans, combined for 54 points in the win, while Blake Wesley, Sidy Cissoko and Erik Stevenson were also among those who turned some heads. 

Look for them to try and do the same against the Lakers, who feature Indiana first-round pick Jalen Hood-Schifino and second-year pro Max Christie. Those two combined for 32 points, the team's highest scorers, in their Monday night loss against the Miami Heat.

A lot of talented players on both sides should be on full display for the final game in Sacramento.

Here's a look at the information you need to know for tonight's game ...
