Spurs Defeated by Bucks Amid Coaching Change

The San Antonio Spurs faced a tough defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks with a score of 121-105, marking their first loss against the Bucks this season. Assistant coach Mitch Johnson stepped in as head coach due to Gregg Popovich's illness, contributing to the Spurs' three-game losing streak as they struggled with the Bucks' physicality. Andre Jackson of the Bucks, dealing with back spasms, was confirmed available for the game but remains a minimal fantasy option, averaging low stats in recent games. In contrast, Jaren Jackson Jr. of the Memphis Grizzlies has been a consistent performer, leading his team to victory against the Dallas Mavericks with a standout performance of 35 points and 13 rebounds. Despite injuries to key players like Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, Jackson Jr.'s efforts showcase his All-Star caliber campaign this season.
