Finally back in the win column, the San Antonio Spurs will play host to the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night at the AT&T Center in the second meeting of the season between the two teams.

Portland (15-12) won the first meeting 117-110 on Nov. 15 following a late fourth-quarter rally, but its the Spurs (9-18) who surprisingly enter Wednesday with a three-game winning streak, the second-longest currently in the Western Conference.

The Spurs picked up a quality and thrilling 112-111 win over a talented Cleveland Cavaliers team on Monday in San Antonio while the Blazers are coming off a 133-112 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Spurs will once again need to watch out for the 3-point shooting prowess of Portland guards Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons, who are second (4.3) and third (4.0), respectively, in the league in 3-pointers made per game. The duo combined for 55 points in the first meeting against the Spurs.
