Preview: Spurs at Hawks, Friday, December 19, 2025 ATLANTA (Interstat) — The surging San Antonio Spurs, boasting the NBA’s second-best record, visit State Farm Arena on Friday night to face an Atlanta Hawks team led by the league’s hottest all-around performer. San Antonio (19-8) arrives having won eight of its last 10 games, including a dominant 119-94 victory over Washington on Thursday. Rookie guard Dylan Harper, the Spurs’ recent lottery pick, continued his strong play with 24 points in 23 minutes off the bench. He is averaging 17.1 points over his last 10 contests, providing vital scoring punch alongside star Victor Wembanyama. The Hawks (15-13) are looking to rebound from a high-scoring 133-126 road loss to Charlotte on Thursday, despite a historic effort from forward Jalen Johnson. Johnson finished one assist shy of a 40-point triple-double, posting 43 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists. Over his last 10 games, Johnson is averaging a remarkable 26.9 points, 12.2 rebounds and 11.2 assists, establishing himself as a nightly triple-double threat. These teams met last month in San Antonio, with the Spurs securing a 135-126 victory on Nov. 20.
