The San Antonio Spurs play host to the New Orleans Pelicans at AT&T Center on Saturday evening

This marks the first game of a four-game home stand for the Spurs (16-12), as they look to get back on track after a loss in OKC in their most recent contest.

They have that opportunity as they begin the home stand, looking to improve on their, 7-8, home record.
